Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Crime & Law, Rehabilitation Services for Offenders
Mission: The sheriff's toy project functions as a charitable arm of the sacramento sheriff's department wherein participants of the sheriff's work project spend their court ordered jail sentence making toys and refurbishing donated bicycles. Through partnerships with organizations such as yes (youth education sports) and the salvation army, we distribute toys, bicycles and other items to children in need throughout the sacramento region, including donations to the mustard seed school, a school for homeless children. The sheriff's toy project also serves as a local outreach program between the sacramento county sheriff department and our community and provides significant relief to an overcrowded jail system, which also reduces cost for the citizens of sacramento county.
Programs: Operating since 1984, the sheriff's toy project has provided less fortunate children in our community with over 75,000 gifts. We have refurbished over 6,400 bicycles. Last christmas, we gave away food boxes and gifts to more than 1,400 families, with each child up to 17 years of age receiving an average of 3 gifts.
