FAIRGROUNDS — On Dec. 15, Clark County Sheriff Chuck Atkins and sheriff-elect John Horch attended the Santa’s Posse toy and food packaging event at theClark County Event Center at the Fairgrounds.
The two leaders and other volunteers spent the evening sorting and packaging donated items to be delivered to local families in need.
Santa’s Posse is a partnership between the Clark County Sheriff’s Office and the community. Created in 1997, it is a way to help families in need during the holiday season and to increase positive contacts between law enforcement and the community.
What started with delivery of food, gifts and personal care items to 25 families has now expanded to 1,500 families. In 2022, Santa’s Posse helped provide Christmas for more than 4,800 children in Clark County.
