Southbury Police have teamed up with merchants of the Southbury Plaza to organize a toy drive to benefit children in need.  On Friday, November 23 and on Saturday, December 1, from 10 AM to 2 PM, police officers will be in front of the T.J. Maxx store collecting new, unwrapped toys and gifts. Their goal is to fill their cruisers with enough toys and gifts so that every local child has presents to open on Christmas morning.  The drive will benefit the Southbury Needy Fund's 2018 Holiday Gift Program for Children. Cash donations will also be accepted and will be used to purchase items for older children and to accommodate any special requests families may have.  Toys can also be left off at the Southbury Police Department and Social Services.
