Sheriff Gary Sisk launches 2020 program to provide Christmas toys for children in need
Catoosa County Sheriff Gary R. Sisk announced the launch of the 2020 Stocking Full of Love program to support children in need with toys this Christmas season.
The Sheriff’s Office proudly sponsors the Stocking Full of Love program, which has provided Christmas toys for needy children in Catoosa County for more than three decades. Last year more than 1,100 children received assistance.

I believe the number of children who need our help will be even greater,” Sheriff Sisk said.
Each year the Catoosa County Sheriff’s Office accepts the names of children in need from Catoosa County schools, civic organizations, the community and state agencies.
This year, beginning Nov. 30, the Catoosa County Sheriff’s Office will
I am personally grateful for every dollar, every toy and every act of kindness that you can share to bring the joy of Christmas to hundreds of area children.”
