Crescenta Valley Sheriff's Station Hosts Toy & Food Drive

LA CRESCENTA, CA — The Crescenta Valley Sheriff’s Station is hosting a toy and food drive, and is asking the community for help in making it successful.

For nearly 25 years, the Crescenta Valley Station and its station volunteers have been providing help to the local families living along the foothills.

"Our goal this year is to invite over 100 families to the Crescenta Valley Park on December 14 so we can give away toys and bags of food," the Crescenta Valley Sheriff's Station said. "We have had a wonderful show of support with all the dried/can food over this Thanksgiving weekend. This was accomplished through the generosity of the La Canada Flintridge Community Center and its annual 5K Turkey Trot."

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Crescenta Valley Station is now asking the community for donations of new, unwrapped toys worth $10 or more. The toys can be dropped off at the Crescenta Valley Sheriff Station, at 4554 Briggs Ave in La Crescenta, or any barrel found at local businesses. Community members can also contact Deputy Maryann Martin at (818) 236-4021 or email Mgmartin@lasd.org.

The LASD Crescenta Valley Station serves the City of La Cañada Flintridge and the unincorporated communities of La Crescenta/Montrose, Lopez Canyon, Kagel Canyon, Little Tujunga Canyon, Big Tujunga Canyon, Angeles National Forest (State Route 2 – Angeles Crest Hwy, Switzer Falls) and Mount Wilson.
