Blue Christmas Toy Drive

Submitted by Protect San Jose on Mon, 12/02/2019 - 14:33

Giving back to the community is something San Jose Police Officers take pride in and do every single day. Answering the call day after day, we have an opportunity to make a positive impact on people’s lives in more ways than we can count. The holidays bring out examples of people, families, and children that are deserving of more than they may have in life.


The 3rd Annual San Jose Police Officers’ Association - Blue Christmas Toy Drive has begun and we are counting on each and every one of you. Blue Christmas was conceived from a concept of ensuring that children weren’t left out, and they too could feel the joy that they may be lacking. Please join us in helping put a smile on a child’s face this holiday season!
