Help Police Provide Holiday Cheer
The Fairfax County Police Department asks residents to consider donating an unwrapped game, toy, or book as part of their 21st annual Santa’s Ride holiday campaign. Gifts may be left at any Fairfax County Police district station or the Fairfax County Government Center prior to 9 a.m. Monday, December 14.
All gifts will be delivered by uniformed officers on motorcycles to children across Fairfax County, where some very special children won't have to wait until Christmas Eve to open these gifts. Santa and his elves will be rumbling down the streets of Fairfax County on motorcycles December 15, 16, and 17.
Santa’s Ride includes the Fairfax County Police Motorcycle Squad, in cooperation with the Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office, Virginia State Police, Fairfax City Police, Falls Church City Sheriff’s Office, Town of Herndon Police and Town of Vienna Police will be escorting Santa and Mrs. Claus.
On Monday, December 14, Santa’s elves will pick up toys and other donations from police stations and other government facilities throughout the county. On Tuesday, December 15, Santa will visit schools and police stations. Santa and his helpers will deliver the toys to children at the Georgetown Lombardi Cancer Center on December 16 and INOVA Fairfax Hospital Child Life Center on December 17. Toys will also go to children at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, the Ronald McDonald House and the Reston F.I.S.H. (For Immediate Sympathetic Help).
Call the Public Information Office for an itinerary for Santa and his helpers. Information on other police department holiday efforts is posted on the Fairfax County Police Department website.
