This year the Department’s Community Services Bureau (CSB) and Youth Services Division (YSD) will lead a Toy Drive that will benefit the Building Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency (BOSS) program, which currently provides shelter and support services to unhoused families within our City.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, we were unable to organize a second annual Holiday Shop with a Cop event this year. Next year, the Department is hoping to bring back our Holiday Shop with a Cop in addition to the Toy Drive.

The Department is currently accepting new, unwrapped toys for the following age groups: 4-8, 9-12, 13-17 years old.
