Fairfield Police Collecting Toys for Children at Bridgeport Hospital
Drop off a toy or two at one of the several locations around town.
The Fairfield Police Benevolent Association is once again running its annual holiday toy drive. All toys collected are donated to Bridgeport Hospital.
The toy drive is usually able to provide sick children admitted to the hospital "with some smiles -- not only during the holidays, but all year-round," according to a release from the association.
"This is done by the graciousness of the public and their willingness to give," members of the association stated in the release.
