It’s officially that time of year again! Christmas is right around the corner, and we are so excited to begin preparing to spread a little Christmas magic to the children of Pulaski County! 🎅🏼🎄
Our goal has always been simple: to make sure as many children as possible wake up on Christmas morning with a smile on their face and a little magic in their hearts. ❤️
📅 IMPORTANT DATES:
* 🎁 Sign-Ups Open: NOW!
* ⏰ Sign-Up Deadline: December 1, 2026
* 🚗 Toy Delivery Dates: December 19th & 20th, 2026
🎄 WHO QUALIFIES?
* Children from birth (infants included) through 12th grade.

📝 HOW TO SIGN UP:
We have THREE convenient ways to register your child!
📱 Option 1: Send a private message directly to our Pulaski County Toy Drive page.
📞 Option 2: Call the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office to sign up over the phone.
🏛️ Option 3: Stop by the Pulaski County Courthouse, Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–4:00 PM, to fill out a sign-up form in person.
🎁 INFORMATION REQUIRED TO SIGN UP:
Please have the following information ready for EACH child:
* 🎁 Delivery Address
* 🎁 Child’s Full Name
* 🎁 Age
* 🎁 Gender
* 🎁 Specific Interests, Wants, or Needs (favorite characters, hobbies, toys, gift ideas, etc.)
* 🎁 Clothing Size
* 🎁 Shoe Size
❤️ PLEASE KEEP IN MIND:
We ask for specific interests, gift ideas, clothing sizes, and shoe sizes so we can do our very best to make each child’s Christmas special and personal.
However, providing this information does NOT guarantee your child will receive the specific gifts, clothing, or shoes requested.
Our toy drive operates entirely through the generosity of donations, sponsorships, and the incredible people who support our mission. We put our hearts into making Christmas as magical as possible for these children, but sometimes, as much as we wish we could, we simply cannot work miracles. We promise to do the very best we can with what we have. ❤️
🚨 ABSOLUTELY NO LATE SIGN-UPS THIS YEAR! 🚨
December 1st is our FINAL deadline. We will NOT be accepting any late sign-ups or additions after that date.
This is not a decision we make lightly, but we need adequate time to organize donations, shop for gifts, prepare packages, and coordinate deliveries. Please help us by respecting this deadline!
🎅🏼 A LITTLE NOTE FROM OUR TOY DRIVE TEAM:
Every year, we are reminded just how special this community truly is. This toy drive is about so much more than presents under a tree. It’s about bringing joy, hope, and a little extra Christmas magic to families who may need it.
We cannot promise everything on a child’s wish list, but we can promise that every child we serve matters to us. ❤️
🎄 PLEASE SHARE THIS POST! Help us reach the families in Pulaski County who could benefit from a little extra help this Christmas season.
For the privacy and safety of our families, please do NOT post children’s information or delivery addresses in the comments. Use one of the three sign-up methods listed above.
Together, let’s make Christmas 2026 one to remember! 🎁❤️🎅🏼
