2nd Annual Christmas Toy Drive

San Gabriel, California – The San Gabriel Police Officers’ Association in partnership with the San Gabriel Police Department are sponsoring their 2nd Annual “San Gabriel Police Christmas Toy Drive” on Thursday, December 15, 2011. Due in large part to the difficult economic hardships that many local families find themselves currently dealing with, the members of the San Gabriel Police Officers’ Association and San Gabriel Police Department are looking to bring some much needed cheer to the young children of our community.

Our primary goal this year is to ensure that we reach out to as many kids in need as possible. We urge the public to join us in this effort and donate any new unwrapped toy, book or gift card which will be welcomed by the children receiving your generous donations. Coming together as a group for this purpose we can certainly spread a great bounce house for sale deal of holiday happiness.  Our entire membership is setting a goal this holiday season, to provide at least one gift to each child at Options Preschool at the McKinley Elementary School Campus, 1327 South Manley Drive, La Casa Community Center, 203 East Mission Road, and the Asian Youth Center Preschool, 100 West Clary Avenue in San Gabriel.

On Thursday, December 15, 2011 beginning at 3:30 p.m. the gift donations will be delivered by the jolly big guy, affectionately known to all of us as “Santa Clause,” along with members of the San Gabriel Police Officers’ Association and San Gabriel Police Department. The collected toys, books and gift cards will be distributed to the children; together we can help make the holidays brighter and special for the less fortunate children in our community.

Now through Wednesday, December 14, 2011 everyone is encouraged to visit the San Gabriel Police Station lobby at 625 South Del Mar Avenue in San Gabriel to bring your donations of new toys, books or gift cards to be placed inside our holiday collection bin. Officer Fabian Valdez can be contacted at 626-308-2839 or by email at FV072.@SGPD.COM. for further information or questions regarding this event.
