The Latta Police Department donated toys to the Jackson Winkeler Foundation recently. Tom Lovett, Vice-President and Co-Founder of the Jackson Winkeler Foundation accepted the toys on behalf of the foundation. 2025 is the fourth Christmas for the Jackson Winkeler Foundation. During years one through three, they have provided for 189 children, and this year they expect to sponsor about 100 children. The foundation works with the schools, mentorship groups, and local community members to identify families. Each child gets a big bag of wrapped presents with their name on it. They make house calls and deliver the wrapped presents with Santa Claus in Jackson’s patrol vehicle that was donated to the foundation by the Florence Regional Airport.
