The holiday season is in full swing which means it is time for the North Plainfield Police PBA Local # 85 toy drive.  “We know the holiday season can be difficult for the less fortunate so we like to help out,” said Officer Tim Boykoff.  Officer Boykoff puts the toy drive together each year with the assistance of Cpl. Dennis Kardos.  Each member of the department donates their time and effort in providing gifts for children of the community who may be less fortunate this holiday season.

In concert with Social Services, the police department identifies those who may be in need and reaches out to each family.  “We try to find out how old the kids are and what they may need and buy gifts for them.  Each kid should have a present to open this time of year,” said Cpl. Dennis Kardos.   According to union president, Dan Conceicao, the gifts will be distributed on Friday, December 23, 2011, to North Plainfield residents.  Some of the toys will be given out at police headquarters and some will be taken to homes of the needy who do not have their own transportation. “We hope we can bring a smile to each kid’s face,” said Conceicao.
