This July, The Merced County Community Law Enforcement Organization (CLEO) presents our 3rd Annual "Christmas in July" fundraising diiner. The purpose is to raise money and collect donations for the Sherif's Community Services and "Operation Christmas Star" program. We want to bring smiles to the children in our community during this upcoming holiday season. In 2020, "Operation Christmas Star" was able to give to over 550 familes and almost 2000 children a much needed Christmas. In years past we have counted on the community's help with generous donations and we are once again asking for you support.

"Christmas in July" is our annual fundraising dinnner and proceeds from this event will directly benefit Merced County children. The fundraising event will tkae place on Saturday, July 17, 2021 at the Merced Elks Lodge. A delicious steak dinner will be catered by Sheriff Vern Warnke. Addtionally, there will be a live and silent auctions.
