Deputy Santa Delivers Toys to 600 Local Children

Fayette County Sheriff Keith Korenek’s Deputy Santa program was another resounding success this year. Every year, the Sheriff’s Office partners with businesses and volunteers in the community to collect toys and other Christmas gifts for local underprivileged youth. This year, the Deputy Santa program distributed gifts to more than 600 needy children in Fayette County. Above are some of the gifts collected at a toy drive that took place at The Jersey Barnyard on Dec. 17. Pictured (from left) are Sgt.
