On Dec. 18, 2011, the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office helped 18 local children do their Christmas shopping. This was the third and most successful year so far for the program.

We would like to thank all the people who donated to the program with their money or their time. The children were picked from the three local Winnebago County school districts.

They met with their parents at Pamida and shopped with the deputies, reserve deputies and the Pamida staff. The children ranged in age from six to 11 years old.

It was a wonderful experience for my staff and me. I personally would like to give a special thank you to Pamida for all their extra time and effort.

— Douglas W. Jenson Sheriff, Winnebago County

The North Iowa Marine Corps League, The Salvation Army, KIMT and their Giving Your Best partners: Diamond Jo Casino and First Citizens National Bank would like to say a BIG THANKS to the area businesses, schools, and organizations that were a drop box location, had an event, and/or made a cash donation to Toys for Tots.

A BIG THANKS also goes to everyone that donated new, unwrapped toys. Toys for Tots provides joy and a message of hope to economically disadvantaged children through the gift of new toys during the Christmas holiday season. Because of your generosity, more than 2,000 deserving children in North Iowa had presents under their tree on Christmas morning.
