Malden Police, Fire Collecting Toys For Annual Toy Drive

MALDEN, MA — Malden’s annual toy drive is back this year, giving community members another local opportunity to give back during the holiday season.

The drive launched earlier this month. Toy drive organizers are accepting new and unwrapped toys for all ages until Dec. 17. Toys will go to area children in need.

The toy drive is organized by the Malden police and fire departments. Malden City Councilors Jadeane Sica and Craig Spadafora also help run the drive, as noted in this year’s toy drive announcement.

Community members can drop off toys at Malden Police Headquarters at 800 Eastern Avenue or at Malden Fire Department headquarters at 1 Sprauge Street.

Those seeking an online option can alternatively contribute to the toy drive by buying items off the drive’s Amazon wishlist.

Individuals with questions can reach out to Malden Police Detective Renee Kelley by phone at 781-397-7171 x 1203 or via email at rkelley@maldenpd.com.

This toy drive is one of multiple programs ongoing in Malden this holiday season.

The annual Merry Malden Toy and Clothing Drive also launched earlier this month, seeking to collect various goods for area children.
