Alexandria Sheriff’s Office Operation Elf | Kids Out and About DMV

Alexandria Sheriff’s Office Operation Elf

The Sheriff’s Office welcomes donations of toys, books, games, and gift cards for Operation Elf, the annual program to provide holiday gifts to the children of inmates. During Operation Elf, the Inmate Services staff identifies eligible inmates who provide information about their children, like age and gender. Then our staff selects gifts for the children, packages them up, and arranges for family members or guardians to visit the Sheriff’s Office to pick up the gifts or in some cases, staff may be able to deliver the gifts.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

To support this effort, the Sheriff’s Office is accepting donations from anyone wishing to donate new toys, other gifts for kids, and gift cards, which can be given to older children or used by staff to purchase gifts as needed.

Please download the flyer if you would like to learn more about donating or select items from the Operation Elf Wish List on Amazon.

Operation Elf not only assists families in need but also helps keep families connected during the holidays, encouraging a smoother transition once ex-offenders return to the community.
