NCSO HOSTS ITS ANNUAL TOY RIDE FOR CHRISTMAS

On November 12, 2022, Sheriff Ezell Brown and the Newton County Sheriff’s Office hosted its annual Toy Ride at The Church Covington in Oxford, Georgia, an initiative to raise funds and receive toy donations for families in need of assistance during the holiday season.

“I express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to the businesses, organizations, and individuals — especially my staff — who contributed their time and efforts to this year’s Toy Ride,” said Sheriff Brown. “Without you, we could not have succeeded in reaching our goals. I am forever grateful.”

More than 80 motorcycle riders attended this year’s Toy Ride, making it a successful holiday event following its two-year absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Following the law enforcement-led escort around the Newton County community, the motorcycle riders and their families gathered inside The Church Covington to enjoy the raffle, food, and fellowship.
