The 11th annual The Streets Don’t Love You Back toy drive giveaway was Saturday at the Maricopa Police Department’s Copper Sky substation. Over 60 children received donated gifts, including 29 bikes that were donated by the American Sheriff Foundation and the Heart Strings foundation. Founders Rob and Lucinda Boyd had four of their grandchildren help out Santa as his elves.

The Boyds sent a “huge thanks” to all who have participated in the Toy Drive this year and a special thanks to the foundations for the bicycles donated.
