Sheriff’s Paddy Wagon, Not Santa’s Sleigh, Delivers Gifts To Underprivileged Kids

WEST MIFFLIN, Pa. -(WPXI)- The sight of a sheriff’s paddy wagon is not customarily associated with hope and joy. However, many local families enjoyed watching their kids climb into the back of the sheriff’s wagon on Thursday.

Thanks to friends at the West Mifflin Wal-Mart, the paddy wagon was filled with toys for the sheriff’s Tree Of Hope-Angel Tree program. The program, celebrating over 20 years of service, provides gifts to underprivileged boys and girls in the Pittsburgh area.

On Thursday, the sheriff’s paddy wagon was at the West Mifflin Wal-Mart parking lot to distribute the toys.

From there, it made its way to the Tree Of Hope headquarters in Harrison Township to unload toys for distribution throughout Allegheny County.
