Annual Holiday Food and Toy Drive


In Christmas of 2011, the hard-working staff of the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office, have proudly provided toys to over 425 families with a total of more than 1,000 children of Ocean County. The food collected was donated to the Salvation Army.

If you are interested in donating items for the food and toy drive please contact: Mary McHugh at 732-929-4756

In the midst of a struggling economy, the need for assistance during the holidays continues to increase. Now Hurricane Sandy has left many within our county in need, and our drive is more important than ever. Some of the local businesses and organizations that had sponsored their own toy drives are no longer able to provide this service, which has resulted in even more requests to our office.

The toy drive service is available to children 10 and younger.

Proof of Ocean County residency needs to be provided at time of pick-up.

If you have found yourself in need of assistance, you may place your child’s name on the toy drive list for Ocean County.

Please call 732-341-7928 no EARLIER than December 1st.

We will not be able to take calls sooner due to manpower needed in storm relief efforts.
