Toys for Tots

Each December, the Police Department and the United States Marine Corps join forces to conduct the annual Toys for Tots Drive. New toys are collected, wrapped and distributed to needy children throughout the City during the holiday season. The Police Department also organizes five Toys for Tots celebrations, one in each geographic borough. These events bring needy children to local precincts to receive a holiday toy.
Visit the Toys for Tots Website to learn about how you can help within your own area.
