The Southbury Police have teamed up with merchants of the Southbury Plaza to organize a toy drive to benefit children in need.
On Friday, November 28 and on Saturday, December 6, from 8 AM to 2 PM, the police officers will be in front of the Plaza’s Kmart store collecting new, unwrapped toys and gifts. Their goal is to fill their cruisers with enough toys and gifts so that every local child has presents to open on Christmas morning.
The drive will benefit the Southbury Needy Fund's 2014 Holiday Gift Program for Children.
Cash donations will also be accepted and will be used to purchase items for older children and to accommodate any special requests families may have.
Toy and donations may also be left at the Southbury Police Department and Social Services Office until Dec. 9th.
