WESTPORT–The Annual Toy Drive hosted by the Westport Police Department in partnership with the Westport Police Athletic League and Westport Police Benevolent Association has begun.

The donations will be accepted from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Dec. 6, 7, 13 and 14.

Donors who can’t make it at those times can drop presents in toy collection boxes during business hours through Dec. 15 at the following locations around Westport:

• Westport Police Department, 50 Jesup Road

Best wishes to all for a happy, safe and healthy holiday season from the members of the Westport Police Department.
