Message from Sheriff Wayne Ivey
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Another year and as always another incredible partnership with “Kids Without Christmas” (KWC) for their Christmas Wrapping Event.
This morning members of our agency, their families and friends, volunteered to wrap gifts for hundreds of kids and their families who struggle during the Christmas Season.
With help from the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office Special Programs and Corrections Unit, KWC provided Christmas presents to several families who are the children of female inmates in our jail.
Our belief is that every kid deserves a great Christmas morning and by partnering with KWC we made sure that these kids will be no different even though they can’t spend Christmas with their mom.
KWC has been in operation for over 23 years and has brought Christmas joy to thousands and thousands of children right here in our own community.
They are able to accomplish their amazing efforts through very generous community donors and volunteers as they annually provide over 7,000 gifts for families that otherwise might not have had presents to open on Christmas Day.
I would like to personally thank Brevard County Parks and Recreation for partnering with us on the initiative and of course Mike Kelly, and the entire KWC Volunteer Team for all they have done through the years to make Christmas special for thousands of kids.
I also want to thank our Brevard County Corrections Team for all they did to help support our agency’s initiative, and of course a huge thank you to everyone from our agency and community who took part in this year’s wrapping event to once again demonstrate just how great it is to call Brevard County home.
