Stoughton Police Holding Drive-In 'Fill A Cruiser' Toy Drive

STOUGHTON, MA — It's never too early to think about helping those in need before the holidays, especially those in your own community. Stoughton police will get in the giving spirit starting next month with its annual "Fill a Cruiser" toy drive.

But because of the coronavirus pandemic, this year's drive is going to be a drive-in event. On December 12, police will set up a drive-in at the station and collect toys, clothes, and gift cards for kids from newborn to 17.

There will also be other socially distant ways to help kids have a brighter holiday season. Stoughton police set up a drop off box for donations, so you don't have to wait until Dec. 12 to donate.

Police said they are also running a virtual toy drive. All you have to do is order an item online and have it delivered to the Stoughton Police Department at 26 Rose St, Stoughton, MA 02072.

"When you're searching for great deals online tomorrow please consider getting something for this incredible drive," Stoughton police said in a statement Sunday.

All donations will be used to help families in Stoughton and the surrounding area.
