Stuff A Cruiser with Toys for Tots
In conjunction with the New Sewickley Township Police Department, we will be sponsoring a program to FILL THE POLICE CRUISER with new toys that will be donated to Toys for Tots. The toys collected in Beaver County stay in Beaver County to help over 5,000 children of struggling families. Past years have been very successful, and we hope to continue this tradition.
The New Sewickley Township Police Department supports many programs such as the
following: Car seat inspection and installation, the bicycle rodeo held at the Freedom Area Elementary School, DUI awareness, Drug prevention programs, Buckle up traffic enforcement, Vacation notification programs and many others. The police department also provides assistance to struggling families in the township who would otherwise not be able to purchase Christmas gifts for their children.
Please help the Big Knob Grange and the New Sewickley Township Police Department
collect Toys for Tots program to assist our local families. Your support of this wonderful program is greatly appreciated.
