The Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) is proud to highlight the joint efforts of several organizations such as Holmes Correctional Institution, Holmes County Sheriff’s Office, Washington County Sheriff’s Office, and local business Townsend Building Supply. Together, they have donated over 160 wooden toys to be given away during this holiday season.
With the help of Holmes Correctional Institution’s Officer J. White, inmates used donated wood from Townsend Supply to cut, sand, and paint toys for families in Holmes and Washington Counties.
“At Holmes Correctional Institution, we take great pride in collaborating with local sheriffs and business owners. We believe that this collaborative effort has a lasting and positive impact on our community,” said Holmes Correctional Institution Warden Robert Flores.
The local sheriffs will distribute the toys donated.
