“Santa’s sleigh won’t be the only thing delivering toys this holiday season.
On Thursday, December 16, the Troop B Community Action Team (CAT) assisted the Young Mens’ Club of Hadley with a sizable donation to the Hampshire County Toys for Tots organization. Troop B CAT members Sergeant M. McNally, Troopers T. Tudryn, D. Cahill, and D. Brown were contacted by Richard Downie, the Vice-President of the Young Mens’ Club.
Members of Mr. Downie’s Club had purchased over $1,000 worth of toys and wished to donate them to Toys For Tots. Troop B CAT arranged to pick up the toys and deliver them the Toys for Tots drop off location in Chicopee. In total, it took eight large bags and four State Police cruisers to transport the toys.
In addition to toy donations, the Young Mens’ Club does other wonderful things for their community such as hosting a free kids’ fishing derby, as well as awarding various scholarships to local high school students annually.
