The Summit Police Department and Summit Fire Department's have teamed up for the sixth year in a row to help collect toys for children for the holidays as part of thre Marine Corps. Toys for Tots program.
Collection bins are up from now until Dec. 15 at Bouras Properties, Summit Hardware, Starbucks, Somerset Hills Bank, the Summit Post Office, City Hall and the Summit Fire Headquarters.
Firefighter Tim Duetsch said when Summit first began participating in the program they has a pickup truck full of toys. Now, they get a box truck full of toys to donate. And this year, Duetsch said, all the toys collected will stay with Union County families.
