This will be the 2nd year for our toy drive and we’re going bigger! With an even better golf cart to giveaway. Be sure to follow the page!

🎄 WELCOME TO CARROLL COUNTY HOLIDAY HEROES! 🎁

We’re excited to officially launch the Carroll County Holiday Heroes page!

What started last Christmas as a toy drive at Westminster National Golf Course is becoming something much bigger this year.

Last year, with the help of our community, we collected nearly 600 toys, 8 bikes and 10 scooters for children during the holidays. We were blown away by the generosity we saw and it made us realize just how much more we could do if we brought even more of Carroll County together.

So this year, we’re going bigger.

Carroll County Holiday Heroes is bringing together local businesses, first responders, organizations, and neighbors with one simple goal: giving back to the community that gives so much to us.

🎁 Our goal is to collect 1,500+ toys for local children.

🚒 On December 19, we’ll bring everything together for a community toy giveaway at the Westminster Volunteer Fire Department.

🎟️ And yes… we’re bringing back the golf cart giveaway!

There is A LOT more to announce over the next few weeks, including how you can donate, our golf cart, community partners, sponsors and some pretty special plans for December.

For now, we’re asking you to do one thing:

Follow our page and share it with your friends.

Let’s show everyone what can happen when Carroll County comes together. ❤️🎄
