Toys for Tots

The Garden City Police Department is once again joining forces with the U.S. Marine Corp. to collect toys for youths in need. For the last 70 years, the United States Marine Corp. has distributed over 542 million toys to more than 250 million children.

The Department is collecting NEW, unwrapped toys for underserved children. The mission is to collect and distribute NEW toys as Christmas gifts to those children less fortunate in Nassau County. The campaign kicked off last week and will continue through December 14, 2017. Donations may be made 24-hours a day, 7-days a week, in the lobby of the Police Department.
