Commissioner Arrington to Kick-off 2022 Dads, Daughters, & Dolls Plus Sons Drive
Annual toy drive will bring holiday cheer to children whose fathers are incarcerated in the Fulton County Jail.
Fulton County District 5 Commissioner Marvin S. Arrington, Jr. is preparing to bring some holiday cheer once again to children around the county. Commissioner Arrington is inviting residents to support the 2022 Dads, Daughters, & Dolls Plus Sons Drive, which begins Monday, November 28.
Commissioner Arrington in partnership with the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office are working to collect new dolls and other toys for the sons and daughters of men incarcerated in the Fulton County Jail.
"People often hear me say that I am the proud father of four beautiful daughters,” said Arrington. “As a father, I know firsthand the importance of showing children love. That’s why this toy drive is vital. I want these children to feel the impact of their fathers’ love far beyond the bars. They need to know that regardless of whether or not their fathers are physically present they are still loved."
