Santa Patrol
Each year, children eagerly anticipate waking up on Christmas morning to find gifts from Santa under the tree. In that spirit, the Walton County Sheriff’s Office remains dedicated to ensuring a joyful holiday experience for as many children and families in need as possible.
Since the 1970s, Walton County Sheriff’s Office Santa Patrol has been helping spread holiday joy by collecting toys, clothing, school supplies, and more for children in families facing difficult times.
Today, Santa Patrol continues that mission by providing hand-selected gifts to families in need, identified with care by our School Resource Deputies. These gifts are personally delivered by members of the Walton County Sheriff’s Office staff, helping to bring holiday cheer to our community.
Each November and December, we invite the community to support this effort by donating new, unwrapped gifts for children ages 0 to 17, or by making monetary contributions.
While we receive many donations for younger children, we also serve families with teenagers. If you’re unsure what to purchase for a teen, a monetary donation is a great alternative. Our team will ensure your contribution brings joy to someone in need.
You can make checks payable to the Walton County Sheriff’s Office with “Santa Patrol” noted in the memo line, OR donate safely online via PayPal [Make a Donation by Clicking here]and selecting Santa Patrol in the drop-down.
Donations may be mailed or dropped off at the following locations:
- Walton County Sheriff’s Office: 10 Sheriff Circle, DeFuniak Springs, FL
