The Winthrop Police Department is conducting its annual Toy Drive for local families and children in need of assistance through the middle of the month.
A drop-off box is located in the Winthrop Police Station lobby 24/7. Last year, thanks to the community’s support, the Winthrop P.D. was able to provide toys for over 80 Winthrop families (more than 300 children). The generosity of Winthrop residents and businesses enabled the Winthrop Police to support the non-profits Suffolk County Child Advocacy Center and Harbor Cove Domestic Violence Center, as well as the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center, the Winthrop CLEAR Team, and the Winthrop public schools.
The holiday campaign also assisted 20 of our senior citizens with supplies for Christmas dinner.
If you are in need of assistance this year, please email Detective Samantha Ferrino at Sferrino@town.winthrop.ma.us. (In the subject line please type: Toy Drive.)
