The holidays are fast approaching and we are requesting donations to make our annual Holiday Gift Drive a success. Last year, due to kindness of donors, the 26th Police District was able to reach more than 200 children in our community through our annual gift drive. This year, we hope to exceed that amount and brighten the lives of many more children.

   As in the past, we hope to provide low income school aged children with toys during the holiday season. This year, our annual event will take place on December, 15th between the hours 11AM and 2PM at the Cardinal Bevilacqua Community Center (2646 Kensington Ave.). On the day of the event, the 26th Police District Officers along with the School Crossing Guards volunteer to provide a holiday party for children. Also, Santa and various special guests pay the children a very special visit during the festivities.

   Please let us know at your earliest convenience if you are able to partner with us on this event. Our event is to have all donation picked up by December 7th. If you would like further details feel free to contact us at 215-686-3260 or 215-686-3233. Thank you for your support and Happy Holidays! •
