Loudoun Sheriff's Office Begins Annual Christmas Toy Drive

The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office is partnering with Cole's Closet to help donate toys to children while they are in the hospital.

LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA — The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office is partnering with Cole’s Closet, a nonprofit group, to help donate toys to children while they are in the hospital. In 2019, Loudoun County residents helped the LCSO collect more than 2,000 toys for the annual Santa Ride for Cole’s Closet.

Donations of toys for children ranging in age from infant to 17-years-old will be accepted through Dec. 14. The toys can be dropped off at any LCSO station, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Donations also can be made directly to Cole’s Closet.

Cole's Closet was created in 2002 by Ellen and Steve Tomczyk after they lost their six-month-old son to an undiagnosed brain disease.
