Buffalo Grove police collecting Toys for Tots

The Buffalo Grove Police Department has begun its annual collection for the Toys for Tots program, in partnership with the Marine Corps Reserves.

There are donation boxes in the lobby of the police department, 46 Raupp Blvd., to collect new and unwrapped toys during the holiday season. The program runs until Dec. 18, when the Marines pick up the donated gifts and distribute them.

The police department has been participating in the program for decades.

"We are happy to contribute to this program and be able to bring some cheer to children experiencing financial hardships during the holidays," said Deputy Chief Michael Szos. "We appreciate our community's generosity."
