The Evangeline Parish Sheriff's Department held a Toy Drive for needy children in Evangeline Parish.  We are excited to announce that it was a Great Success!  We collected over 275 toys and collected over $1500 in donations.  We were able to purchase an additional 50 toys with the money donated.  Deputies went out December 22, 2022 and handed out toys to 120 children who put in applications throughout the Parish.  All the work and effort were well worth it to see the children's faces light up with excitement! 

A special thanks go out to the following for their donations:
