Maj. Jamie Locke says with just two days to go, the Salvation Army s Christmas kettle campaign is still far from its regional goal of collecting $1.8 million from the Maritimes.

Washington County sheriff deputies collect Toys for Joys

Washington County Sheriff’s deputies went shopping over the weekend and spent Sunday wrapping gifts for their first Toys for Joy drive. “A lot of our deputies came from humble beginnings,” said DARE instructor Elizabeth Davidson, one of the organizers of the toy drive. “Everybody’s been down on their luck in 2020. We just wanted to help the community in any way that we could.” The deputies donated money, and with the help of community partners and sponsors, raised nearly $2,000 to purchase toys for families in need, Davidson said. She, along with Deputy Joe Joscsak and community partners shopped for toys Friday and Saturday, and on Sunday, deputies and their families spent the day together wrapping the gifts, she said.
