Stuff -a -Cruiser Gift Drive at Litchfield Crossings on Dec. 10

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - New Milford, CT. No reindeer or sled but a real police cruiser will be parked at Litchfield Crossings instead! Celebrate the holiday by giving back to the community at the third annual Stuff -a -Cruiser Drive on Saturday, December 10th from 9am to 2pm, hosted by the New Milford Police to benefit the town’s Social Services Santa fund. The event is sponsored by Big Lots and Kohl Cares, and gifts can be “stuffed” into a cruiser parked in the latter’s parking lot.

Says, Sgt Jim Dzamata, “Sure, toys are a great gift, but we also welcome back packs, school supplies, bikes, skateboards and even gift cards and cash. Clothing like jackets, glove, socks and hats are also welcome but should be new. Come on down so we can say thanks in person. And keep tuned for our child seat installation clinic coming up in the new year.”

Adds Kristin Gizzi, Executive Director of Litchfield Crossing,” We are delighted to be a part of this generous community event and we encourage all of our friends and neighbors to donate, making the holidays even more joyous, especially for the town’s kids from toddlers to teens.”
