The residents were given foodstuffs including maize flour, cooking oil, packaged tea-leaves, blankets, dates wheat flour among other gifts.
Sonko thanked his neighbours for the cordial relationship they have maintained over the years.
"When Christmas reaches, I remember my time in prison. We used to share anything," Sonko said on Sunday.
Sonko is known for his philanthropic nature.
The governor said he has no boundaries in terms of helping people.
"I feel bad when people go on media crying for help, especially those starving of hunger."
