State Police Joins Forces With the USMC to Spread Holiday Cheer

The New York State Police from Poughkeepsie are joining forces with the United States Marine Corps to make the holiday season more enjoyable for less fortunate children in our area. 

State Police in Poughkeepsie are currently collecting new, unwrapped toys at all 18 stations throughout Columbia, Dutchess, Putnam, and Westchester Counties. The drive will conclude on December 14, 2016.

On December 16, 2016 the United States Marine Corps will be at Troop K Headquarters (Poughkeepsie) to collect the donated toys and distribute to local children, so they can experience the joy of Christmas.

Last year Troop K was able to collect 619 toys for the annual United States Marine Corps Toys-For-Tots campaign thanks to the generosity of the public.

Kudos to the New York State Police and the United States Marine Corps for making Christmas happen for so many local children from our community. Every child deserves to smile on Christmas.
