The Altadena Sheriff's Station food and toy drive came to its conclusion this morning, as 300 area families were served before the holidays. A host of deputies and volunteers were on hand to make the distribution go smoothly ... sometimes it did! More pictures after the jump.

The Community Center was filled with bags of toys and boxes of food prior to distribution.
