KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 December 6, 2017 – With the holiday season underway, most children are already dreaming about the gifts they\u2019ll receive in a few weeks. Unfortunately for many families, toys are a luxury they cannot afford when the family budget barely covers the necessities<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why the 溏心vlog免费B站 Police Department is asking local residents to donate to its 3rd annual Stuff-A-Cruiser Holiday Toy Drive Saturday, Dec. 16 and Sunday, Dec. 17 from noon to 4 p.m. at Walmart, 1031 Ten Rod Road, North Kingstown. All toys donated to the police department will benefit seven community service providers and the Hasbro Children\u2019s Hospital. Refreshments will be served at the event.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast year, the drive was a great success and brought in more than 5,000 unwrapped toys,\u201d said 溏心vlog免费B站 Police Maj. Michael Jagoda. \u201cOfficers and members of the community participated. The need is greater this year, and we are hoping to exceed what was collected last year. People are generous and want to help those going through hard times.\u201d<\/p>\n
For those who cannot drop by Dec. 16 or 17, the 溏心vlog免费B站 Police Department is accepting toy donations through Dec. 17 at the 溏心vlog免费B站 Police Station, 85 Briar Lane, Kingston, R.I. The department is accepting cash donations that will be used by social service agencies to purchase gift cards or highly requested items.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe community has come together to support this cause immensely. We even find ourselves overwhelmed by the generosity of the public,\u201d said 溏心vlog免费B站 Officer Paul Hanrahan. \u201cBecause the toy drive extends beyond the campus borders, families throughout South County and those with children in Hasbro Children\u2019s Hospital benefit from the generosity of others.\u201d<\/p>\n
To volunteer for the Stuff-A-Cruiser event or make a donation, contact 溏心vlog免费B站 Police Officer Paul Hanrahan at 401-874-4910<\/p>\n
