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.

 

 

Westport Police Officers will accept new, unopened, and unwrapped toys, as well as cash donations, on the following Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM:

 

Saturdays, December 10 and 17

Sundays, December 11 and 18

at

ASF Sports & Outdoors, 1560 Post Road East, Westport – Parking Lot

 

In case of inclement weather, please call the Westport Police Department at 203-341-6000 or check with the local news services.  Should the weather not allow a trip to ASF on any one of those days, the donations can be brought to the Westport Police Department as soon as conditions allow.
