Warm Winter
Wear for Darke County Children
The employees of the Darke County Sheriff’s Office, through the support
of Sheriff Toby L. Spencer, and in conjunction with local law
enforcement, fire, and emergency medical professionals have announced
plans to host the 17th annual “Warm Winter Wear for Darke County
Children” program.
Thanks to generous donations from caring individuals and businesses
within our community, “Warm Winter Wear” is able to provide all Darke
County Schools with items they request for their students. New hats,
gloves and coats are collected in the dispatch center at the Darke
County Sheriff’s Office from October 1st through the middle of November
and items are distributed to the schools and local families as orders
are filled. Monetary donations are accepted throughout the year; checks
should be made payable to Warm Winter Wear and mailed c/o Darke County
Sheriff’s Office, 5185 County Home Rd, Greenville, OH 45331.
With the support and participation of the local K-Mart from 2000 -
2013, “Warm Winter Wear” was able to provide over 3,000 coats to
children in Darke County. For the past three years, Wal-Mart has worked
with us in helping to provide new coats, hats and gloves to children,
ages 0-13, who are in need. With their support and participation over
the last three years, the Darke County Sheriff’s Office has been able
to provide over 800 coats to children in Darke County.
The Darke County Sheriff’s Office wishes to thank the numerous
individuals and businesses throughout the County who have made
donations in previous years. Last year we received $5,630 in donations.
We also received donations of new coats, as well as hand-made hats,
scarves and gloves. We greatly appreciate the generosity of our
citizens; our program could not continue without your help.
Anyone with questions about this project may contact the Darke County
Sheriff’s Office at 937-548-3399, and direct your call to Dispatch.
