Westport Police Department Announces 2015 Holiday Toy Drive

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 our regularly sponsored agencies, this year will be our third year collaborating 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.

We ask for your continued support and generosity to help make this year’s drive as successful as in the past.  By doing so, you will bring joy to so many children who often have none. Westport Police Officers will accept new, unopened, and unwrapped toys, as well as cash donations, in the parking lot of The Athletic Shoe Factory, located at 1560 Post Road East, Westport on the  following Saturdays and Sundays: December 5, 6, 12, and 13 between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
