The Westport Police Department Local Union #2080 and Police Benevolent Association will be hosting their annual Holiday Toy Drive which provides toys for underprivileged children throughout Fairfield County and beyond. The program has been extremely successful in the past, allowing for thousands of toys to be distributed to children who otherwise would have none. In addition to the regularly sponsored agencies, this year will be their second year partnering with “Newtown Kindness”, an organization whose mission is “to promote kindness as a guiding principle of humanity”. We are honored to work toward such a mission with Newtown Kindness. New, unopened, and unwrapped toys, as well as cash donations, will be accepted by Westport Police Officers in the parking lot of The Athletic Shoe Factory, located at 1560 Post Road East, Westport on December 6, 7, 13, and 14 between the hours of 9 AM and 5 PM. Collection boxes will also be set up at the Westport Police Department, 50 Jesup Road and Westport Town Hall, 110 Myrtle Avenue beginning Friday, December 5 through Sunday, December 14. The deadline for all donations is Sunday, December 14 at 5 PM. Any questions can be directed to Sgt. Jill Ruggiero at jruggiero@westportct.gov or 203-341-6000.
