HADDONFIELD, NJ — Residents are encouraged to purchase something for Toys for Tots while they are out holiday shopping this year, to donate at the Haddonfield Police Department drop-off point and help local kids.

The U.S. Marine Corps sponsors the annual toy drive, and is aided in its mission by local law enforcement and other organizations. This is the 75th anniversary for Marine Toys for Tots, which helps less fortunate children have a happy holiday.

From Dec. 1 to Dec. 16, police are collecting new, unwrapped toys for economically disadvantaged children in Camden County. Haddonfield neighbors may drop them off inside the lobby of the HPD, on the lower level of Borough Hall. Drop-off hours are Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
