The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office invites parents and their kids, aged pre-kindergarten through high school, to join us for our “Christmas in July” event at the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows.
WHAT: “Christmas in July” is a FREE back to school carnival-style event to assist families in need. WCSO staff and volunteers will be handing out 850+ backpacks full of school supplies and hygiene items to children at the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows. Along with the carnival games, kids and parents will get a chance to meet Sheriff’s Office special teams like the Mounted and Motors Units, SWAT, K-9 Unit, Search & Rescue and the Community Emergency Response Team.

There will even be a dunk tank where kids can try and dunk Chief Deputy and good sport, Ralph Caldwell.
