Successful 2021 Toys for Tots Holiday Toy Drive
City of Summit
The Summit Policemen’s Benevolent Association #55 (PBA) and Firefighters Mutual Benevolent Association #54 (FMBA) hosted the annual United States Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots holiday toy drive, with support from the Summit Police Department and Summit Fire Department.
An estimated 500 toys were donated this year. The toys were picked up on Tuesday, December 14, by members of the PBA and FMBA, and delivered to the Marine Corps facility located in South Plainfield. A local transportation company generously donated the use of a truck and driver to deliver the toys.
After the toys are sorted, they will be distributed to children in need throughout Union County and the surrounding area. Toy collection bins were in Summit City Hall, the Summit Fire Department, the Department of Community Programs, Village Trattoria, Summit High School, Lawton C. Johnson Summit Middle School, Peapack Gladstone Bank, The Little Gym of Summit, and Serra Doce.
The PBA and FMBA would like to thank the businesses that collected toys and citizens that donated them during this year’s drive.
