The Mendham Police Department is conducting its annual gift collection drive for needy kids in town.

MENDHAM, NJ — Mendham Police have said that, sadly, not many people are dropping off toys for its holiday toy drive, going on now.

The town is asking residents to drop off new, unwrapped toys. The toys will be given to approximately 50 less-fortunate children between the ages of 2 to 15 years old.

Police have announced that they will extend the deadline for toy donations until tomorrow evening, with plans to distribute the toys on Friday.
