The Annual Toy Drive will bring holiday cheer to children with fathers incarcerated in the Fulton County Jail.

Fulton County District 5 Commissioner Marvin S. Arrington, Jr. has announced the kick-off of the 2025 Dads, Daughters, Dolls + Sons Toy Giveaway. The Commissioner, in partnership with the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office and the Friends of Wolfcreek, will begin accepting donations on Monday, December 1st.

The partners are collecting new dolls and other toys for the sons and daughters of men incarcerated in the Fulton County Jail.

“It is about bringing joy to the children who are missing their fathers,” said Commissioner Arrington. “Our goal is to make sure that these children feel the impact of their father’s love far beyond the bars and understand that although they may not be with them, they are always thinking of them, especially during the holiday season.”
