In a heartwarming bid to ensure that every child in Rosemead experiences the joy of the holiday season, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and Temple Sheriff’s Station are initiating their festive “Pack-a-Patrol Car Toy Drive.” The ambitious drive will see local deputies collecting new, unwrapped toys, which will be gifted to deserving children aged 18 and under in the Rosemead area.
The Toy Drive, a beacon of holiday cheer, is aimed at fostering community spirit and ensuring that no child goes without a gift this holiday season. The community is invited to participate in this noble cause by dropping off toys at various locations throughout Rosemead on specified dates and times.
For those eager to donate, the collection will kick off at the Walmart Supercenter, located at 1827 Walnut Grove Avenue. Community members can bring their donations on November 14 from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., and again on November 26 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Following this, another opportunity to contribute will be at Ross Dress for Less at 3560 Rosemead Blvd on November 21 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The final collection event will be held at Macy’s in the Montebello Town Center, situated at 1900 Montebello Town Center. This event will take place on December 3, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. These events not only offer a chance to help out but also a moment to meet local deputies who are actively part of the force behind this charitable initiative.
The Toy Drive is specially designed to make the holiday season a bit brighter for families facing challenges, by providing their children with gifts that they might not otherwise receive. It is a testament to the strong sense of duty and community that characterizes the deputies of Rosemead Special Assignment team and their commitment to the locality they serve.
Mandy Wong, the Public Safety Supervisor who could be reached at [email protected] or (626) 569-2168, is coordinating this event. She remains a pivotal contact for anyone looking for more information or interested in contributing to the drive but unable to attend the scheduled toy collection events.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and Temple Sheriff’s Station invite all Rosemead residents to join them in spreading festive cheer through their generosity. This toy drive is not just about gifts; it’s about brightening a child’s world during the festive season, showcasing community solidarity, and bringing smiles to the faces of Rosemead’s youngest residents. The effort underscores a powerful message of unity and the joys of giving, reverberating well beyond the holiday season.
