LASD, Toyota Sponsor Toy Giveaway for Children of Incarcerated Parents in Los Angeles County, authorities announced Tuesday.Sheriff’s officials partnered with Toyota to deliver more than 1,000 toys.

The toys were collected between Nov. 17 and Dec. 19 and the distribution took place last weekend at LASD custody centers, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Participating employees from the facilities, including the Twin Towers Correctional Facility, Men’s Central Jail, Century Regional Detention Facility, LAGMC and Pitches Detention Center, assisted in the distribution.

The visiting centers were decorated for Christmas and offered arts and crafts activities. Children created ornaments, engaged in coloring activities, and were introduced to several holiday treats, such as cupcakes and cookies, provided by the Food Services Bureau.

“When community events come around like the annual Christmas toy distribution, it allows us to highlight the amazing men and women who give selflessly all year long,” LASD Acting Captain Kellee Kicks said in a statement.

“It highlights the importance of community, compassion, and the reciprocal nature of human relationships. Ultimately, it speaks to the power of empathy and strength that comes from supporting one another,” Kicks added.
