Local Sheriff's Offices Teamed Up with Child Welfare for Foster Kid Toy Drives

The Jackson County Sheriff's Office helped deliver more than 400 Christmas gifts to the Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) Child Welfare Division office in Medford this week.

In a program called "Foster the Love," the Sheriff's Office partnered with DHS to provide Christmas presents to kids in foster care in Jackson County. The toy drive collects and distributes hundreds of toys each Christmas to local kids in foster care.

The Josephine County Sheriff's Office is involved in a similar program to benefit local foster children each holiday season.

Thank you to everyone to everyone who donated a gift this year to help ensure Christmas is a little bit better for foster kids throughout Southern Oregon!
