NOPD Fourth District Starts Collecting Toys for Annual Holiday Drive

The NOPD Fourth District is kicking off the holiday season with its annual toy drive, and is now seeking the communities help in gathering new toys that'll go to families and children less fortunate in the district.

The Fourth District is asking the community to help make a child’s holiday season special by donating any new, unwrapped toys that will be distributed to area children before Christmas.

Drop off unwrapped new gifts or toys anytime from November 17 to December 15, 2016, at the NOPD Fourth District station located at 2405 Sanctuary Drive.  If you are unable to drop-off a toy in person, Fourth District officers will pick them up from your home or business. You can call Deltanya Dunlap or Fourth District officer Qiana T. Lewis at (504) 658-6460 or send an email to nopd4thdistrict@nola.gov with pickup information.

Along with protecting the citizens of New Orleans, NOPD's Fourth District makes every effort to protect the community as well as to support the community. The holiday season offers NOPD officers a chance to interact and share gifts with young people throughout the district.

Last year, Fourth District officers gave away more than 50 toys to the students at Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary School
