The Delaware County Park Police are proud to announce their 8th annual “Blue Christmas” Toy Drive.
New, unwrapped toys will be collected through December 22 at various locations across the county for children in need this holiday season. Residents and County employees are encouraged to donate new, unwrapped gifts for children ages 2-16. The gifts will be donated to local families in need.
“All children deserve to feel joy on Christmas morning,” said Delaware County Park Police Chief John Deihl. “For children in foster care, those battling cancer and other illnesses, and those experiencing hard situations, Christmas can be a difficult time. We hope the small gesture of giving them a gift to open on Christmas morning brings them some happiness.”
Donations are being accepted at the following locations:
Delaware County Government Center (201 W. Front St., Media / ground floor lobby)
Delaware County Park Police/69th St. location (20 S. 69th St., Upper Darby/ 3rd floor)
Chester District Court (529 Penn St., Chester /desk at the main lobby)
