Santa’s Ride: No Child Left Home Alone This Holiday

Fairfax County, VA– Since 1988, the Fairfax County Police Department’s annual Santa’s Ride has delivered toys and joy to children in hospitals and local charities. This holiday season, giving back remains the ultimate gift. Inspired by the popular Christmas movie Home Alone, we’ve teamed up with our community partners to spread cheer, lend a helping hand, and ensure no child is left “home alone” without holiday joy.
