Press release:
The Batavia Police, in partnership with Salvation Army, are collecting items to help those in need this holiday season.
Police officers as part of their normal duties meet families in unique situations and see firsthand the need for basic clothing needs such as socks, pajamas and other items. The Batavia Police Department is asking the citizens of Batavia to join us as we help supply these items for the Salvation Army to distribute.
There will be a collection container at the City of Batavia Police headquarters located at 10 W. Main St. We will be accepting new clothing items and of course new toys for those children of our community in need. Items will be collected through Dec. 14. Feel free to stop by and drop off.
Thank you, to the citizens of Batavia, for your support and have a safe and happy holiday season.
