The first day of Jocks In The Box was definitely a fun day. Not only did we have people driving in from East Texas to donate, but there was someone who donated 12 bikes! A lady from Minden heard about the toy drive last year and set herself a challenge that she would buy one bike every month and donate all 12 this year...
In many cases the Operation Santa Claus gifts are the only gifts that these children receive. If you want to donate and unwrapped toy you can do so over the course of the next couple weeks.
It is the time of year where Santa has many public appearances. He has to make sure that he sees every girl and boy in the world to ask what they they want for Christmas, so there are many places to have an audience with Ole St. Nick.
It's been a big day for the Bossier Sheriff's Office and Shreveport Police and Fire Departments, as they fanned out across town delivering toys for Operation Santa Claus.
A big THANKS goes out to Dr. Sanders Graf and Dr. Jason Gambill of Graf Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry of Shreveport-Bossier for their help with Operation Santa Claus!
