The Summit Department of Community Programs (DCP) is asking area residents for donations of pre-school age children’s play equipment and toys for a Village Green “Kids Zone” during summer special events, including Screen on the Green, Hot Summer Nights Concert Series, Community Night and National Night Out.
“We believe that is important to make sure everyone is having the best possible experience at our events,” explains Director of Community Programs Judith L. Josephs. “As part of our mission to share the fun, we are creating a play area for our youngest concert and movie goers to keep them entertained as well.”
The DCP is asking the community to donate used Little Tikes play sets, play kitchens with plastic food sets, pots and pans, Legos, DUPLO building blocks, foam floor puzzles and other toys that would be appropriate for children ages three to five.
Donations will be accepted through August 15, 2018. Items can be dropped off daily from 8:30 a.m.to 4:30 p.m. at Cornog Field House, located at 5 Myrtle Ave. Please email DCPintern@cityofsummit.org to arrange a pickup for larger items.
For additional information on Kid Zone donations or to learn more about the DCP, go to summitcommunityprograms.com or call 908-277-2932.
