GREENVILLE, PA – The Thiel Campus Police, Greenville-West Salem Township Police and members of Thiel College’s sororities and fraternities will team up for the fifth year to conduct the U.S. Marines Corps Reserve Toys for Tots drive in Greenville.

The mission the Toys for Tots Program is to collect toys during the fall of each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted. The Greenville drive will collect new, unwrapped toys, which will be distributed to children in the Greenville-Mercer County area, through Dec. 14.

“The police departments of Thiel College and Greenville are very happy to once again help out with this important holiday tradition,” says Thiel Police Chief Don Aubrecht. “Toys for Tots helps make the holiday season a happy one for so many of our local families. We are proud to be a part of that.” Cash donations are also accepted and will be used to purchase new toys.

Anyone wishing to drop off new toys or a donation can do so at the Thiel College Campus Police building, Packard Avenue, between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. or at the Greenville-West Salem Township Police Department at the intersection of Main and Water streets. 

For more information, please call Chief Aubrecht at 724-589-2222.
