PBA Annual Toy Drive Ends Dec. 18

The Police Benevolent Association is holding its annual toy drive, and Paramus Local 186 is participating. 

The PBA is asking for new and unwrapped toys to be dropped off at the Paramus Police Department anytime before Dec. 18. The toys will go to Paramus families in need, as well as a list of beneficiaries that includes military families, Sanzari Children's Hospital, Wounded Warrior project, Tomorrow's Children, and victims of Hurricane Sandy.

In the past, the toy drive has filled an entire garage with donations, but this year, the PBA has seen less items come in.

"We are really under the amount of toys that we have received in past years,"  said Det. James Teehan of the Paramus Police. "I honestly believe it is because of all the amazing relief efforts involving Hurricane Sandy."
