The Brick Policemen’s Benevolent Association Local 230 has held its annual toy drive for years, and the coronavirus pandemic didn’t stop their effort during a Christmas season when it counts more than ever.
The officers who organized the drive this year were lent a hand by Mayor John Ducey’s Student Advisory Committee. The students helped collect hundreds of gifts and spent an afternoon wrapping them.
“The gifts were distributed to Brick families to help make their holidays brighter,” the township said in an announcement

“Thank you to the Brick PBA, the students and everyone who donated to the Toys for Tots Drive,” it said.
