CCSO Continues Stocking Full Of Love Holiday Program

  • Friday, November 1, 2024
Catoosa County Sheriff's Office Office announces the continuation of the Stocking Full of Love program for the 2024 holiday season. This initiative aims to spread joy to children in need across Catoosa County.

For over 30 years, the Stocking Full of Love program has provided Christmas toys to children who might otherwise go without. Last year, it successfully assisted over 1,200 children, and Sheriff Sisk anticipates an even greater need this year due to ongoing economic challenges.

“We are committed to ensuring that as many children as possible experience the joy of Christmas this year,” said Sheriff Sisk.
“Given the current economic difficulties, we expect the demand for support to rise.”

Community members wishing to contribute new, unwrapped toys can drop them off at the Catoosa County Sheriff’s Office at 5842 Highway 41 in Ringgold. To arrange for a pickup of donated toys, contact the Sheriff’s Office at 706-935-2424. Financial contributions can be made securely online or by mailing a check, payable to Catoosa County Stocking Full of Love, to:
Catoosa County Sheriff’s Office
P.O. Box 909
Ringgold, Ga. 30736-0909

Sheriff Sisk expresses heartfelt gratitude for every donation and act of kindness. “Your support is crucial in spreading the holiday spirit and making a meaningful difference in the lives of many children. We deeply appreciate every contribution, whether a toy, a dollar or a kind gesture.”

The program will accept online applications from families with children 12 months to 14 years of age who are residents of Catoosa County from Nov. 18 through Dec. 2. Applications can be accessed online at www.catoosacountystockingfulloflove.org.
