Food and Toy Drive Launch

The Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) will officially launch the 34th Annual Food and Toy Drive at Central West Division in Whitby.

It is an important time of year for the community to come together to support each other. Members of DRPS would like to challenge Durham Region citizens and businesses to make this year's Food and Toy Drive the biggest ever!

To kick-off the campaign, a photo op will be held with Chief Todd Rollauer, Cst. Darryl Rice, Mini-Chief Gabriel Perruccio and the big man himself - Santa!

The Food and Toy Drive provides Durham Region families in need with food and toys for the holiday season. Throughout the months of November and December local businesses, organizations and individuals donate food and toys, which are then picked up by volunteers, sorted and distributed to members of the community.

Donations can be dropped off at any DRPS Division, Regional Headquarters in Whitby, Clarington Fire Headquarters or any fire station in Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax and Courtice.

Businesses or individuals wishing to make large donations can contact the organizers, including the coordinator Cst. Darryl Rice, at drpft@drps.ca or (905)721-2999
