Memorial Toy Drive Hosted By Morris County Park Police

MORRISTOWN, NJ — The annual Sgt. Timmy Albine Memorial Holiday Toy Drive is underway again, and Morris County Park Police are asking residents to donate toys for children in need.

First started by Albine in 2002, the program continues in his memory to help bring joy to local children in need. Last year more than 4,000 toys were donated, exceeding the department's goal.

“It is a privilege and a joy to help make the holiday season brighter for children and families,” said program coordinator, Lt. Gabe DiPietro, of the Morris County Park Police. “While we successfully exceeded our goal, with everyone’s help, there remains a greater goal to do more to meet the needs of all our underserved children.”

You can drop toys off at the following locations:

• Morris County Park Police Headquarters, 300 Mendham Rd., Morris Township
• Haggerty Education Center, at the Frelinghuysen Arboretum, 353 E. Hanover Ave., Morris Township
• Mennen Sports Arena, 161 E. Hanover Ave., Morris Township
• St. Virgil’s Parish, 250 Speedwell Ave., Morris Plains
