SAFFORD — The Graham County Attorney’s Office is seeking donations of holiday gifts for pre-teens and teens impacted by the criminal justice system.

The County Attorney’s Office has teamed with 911 Santa to provide gifts to children up to the age of 10 whose parents or guardians have either been arrested and are going through the justice system; however, there are no gifts for children 11 and older.

“We know that minors aged 11-18 also feel these effects and would benefit by receiving a gift. We would like to include them,” Graham County Attorney L. Scott Bennett said in a prepared release.

Unfortunately, Bennett said, his office doesn’t have a budget for these gifts, so he is asking for donations from the public.

There are 32 children age 11-18 that the County Attorney’s Office is seeking to help.

To schedule a donation, call the Graham County Attorney’s Office at 928-428-3620.
