Sarasota County Sheriff Kurt A. Hoffman is pleased to announce the 10th Annual Holiday Toy Drive, continuing a decade-long tradition of spreading holiday cheer to children and families in need throughout our community. The toy drive supports several nonprofits, including the Twelfth Circuit Guardian ad Litem Office, Teen Court of Sarasota, and All Star Children’s Foundation. Since its inception in 2017, the toy drive has blossomed into a cherished community project, bringing together sheriff’s office members, residents, businesses, and community organizations in the spirit of giving. Through their generosity, thousands of gifts and gift cards have been collected over the years, helping brighten the holidays for children throughout Sarasota, Manatee, and DeSoto counties. The sheriff’s office has proudly partnered with the Guardian ad Litem program for nine years, while partnerships with Teen Court of Sarasota and All Star Children’s Foundation have continued for the past four years.
