Delco's Annual 'Blue Christmas' Toy Drive Underway

DELAWARE COUNTY, PA — Delaware County Park Police have launched their annual toy drive and members of the public can drop off toys at various locations around the county ahead of the holidays.

The fifth annual "Blue Christmas" Toy Drive is taking place now through Dec. 21 at six locations across the county.

New and unwrapped toys for kids two to 16 years old will be collected and donated to children in need this holiday season.

The gifts will be distributed to Delaware County’s Children and Youth Services, Healing Hats and Toys, and to local families in need.

"All children deserve to feel joy on Christmas morning,” said Delaware County Park Police Chief Scott Mahoney. “For children in foster care, those battling cancer and other illnesses and those experiencing hard situations, Christmas can be a difficult time. We hope the small gesture of giving them a gift to open on Christmas morning brings them some happiness.
