The toys collected were picked up today by Sheriff Jason Ard, Livingston Parish Sheriff.

“I am proud of our community, which always comes together to help others in need,” stated Sheriff Tony Mancuso. “We were able to collect a trailer full of toys that will be sent to Livingston Parish in time for Christmas. We also held a separate toy drive and deputies donated toys and bikes to help numerous families in our own parish who are in need during the Christmas season.”
