SFPD and Walgreens Kick Off 2016
Holiday Toy Drive
In
collaboration with Walgreens drugstores, the San Francisco Police Department
today launched its 2016 Holiday Toy Drive, benefitting the City’s children in
need.
From
November 18 to December 19, SFPD will be accepting donations of new, unwrapped
toys at more than 60 San Francisco Walgreens locations. The goal is to exceed
last year’s toy drive, in which approximately 2,500 items were donated at 30
Walgreens stores for distribution to San Francisco children.
“Everyone
can make a difference in a child’s life,” said Interim Police Chief Toney
Chaplin. “San Franciscans are generous, thoughtful people and we believe they
will step up to brighten the holidays for children and provide happy memories
for years to come. We thank Walgreens for doing their part again this year to
help San Francisco youth.”
Donors can purchase or drop off a new, unwrapped toy at any San
Francisco Walgreens that features a brightly colored and marked toy drive
collection bin. Those unable to drop off a toy may also contribute to a Go Fund
Me account (https://www.gofundme.com/sfpdtoydrive2016) established by the San
Francisco Police Foundation to purchase toys for underprivileged children this
holiday season.
