Santa Barbara, Calif. – The Sheriff’s Office Programs Unit, Chaplain program and Impact Ministry are working together to celebrate this holiday season with the joy of giving. Ministers and Chaplains from faith-based organizations as well as community members throughout the County donated gifts of snack chips, cookies, energy bars, chocolates, ramen, shampoo, and conditioner. Over the weekend, volunteers assembled the items into 875 gift bags that they distributed to both inmates and staff members at the Main Jail yesterday and the Northern Branch Jail today. This is the fifth year that Impact Ministry has brought holiday joy to the inmates and staff of the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office.
