Brick PBA Seeks Donations For Toys For Tots Drive

BRICK, NJ — If you're shopping on Black Friday and are in a position to help others this year, the Brick Township PBA Local 230 is doing its annual Toys for Tots toy drive for needy children in Brick Township.

The collection is part of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Tots for Tots Program, and they are accepting donations on new and unwrapped toys, with the exception of stuffed animals, appropriate for children ranging from infants through age 13, such as board games, toy cars, athletic balls, bicycles, etc.

Anyone interested in donating toys can do so by dropping them off at the Brick Township Police Department, 401 Chambers Bridge Road. You also can have online orders delivered directly to the police department; put the package to the attention of Officer Joseph Riccio, Brick PBA Local 230.

The deadline for donations is Dec. 15.

This year has impacted families across the nation. The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in many job losses and sadly the loss of loved ones. We hope to bring a smile to the youth of Brick Township and instill hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

We expect the number of families to provide gifts for to increase. With that said we ask the community to please donate and help us bring happiness to the youth of Brick Township.

Questions may be directed to Patrolman Joseph Riccio at Joseph.Riccio@brickpd.com or message the PBA via through its Facebook page.
