Essex County Sheriff Fontoura continues long holiday tradition of donating hundreds of holiday toys

Posted

The first or more than 30 loads of holiday toys, gifts and warm winter clothing were piled high onto Santa's sleigh recently at Veterans Courthouse for delivery to the Ironbound Boys and Girls Club.

In total, Sheriff Armando Fontoura and his uniformed elves will deliver thousands of other holiday goodies to deserving youngsters throughout Essex County at local schools, social service centers and numerous houses of worship as part of Sheriff Fontoura's Annual Holiday Toy Drive for Needy Children.
