Across Delaware County, departments are stepping up to meet this need by organizing efforts to collect toys, food, clothing, and other essential items for residents in need.
Delaware County Park Police: Blue Christmas Toy Drive
The Delaware County Park Police has launched its ninth annual “Blue Christmas” Toy Drive, a cherished tradition aimed at bringing joy to children in need.
From now through Dec. 22, residents and employees are encouraged to donate new, unwrapped toys for children ages 2–16. These gifts will brighten the holidays for local families, including children in foster care, those battling illnesses and others facing difficult circumstances.
"Every child who celebrates should have a reason to smile on Christmas morning," said James Neff, President of the Delaware County Park Police Independent Union. "The holidays can be especially tough for some families, but even a small gift can bring joy and let these children know their community is here for them."
