Why It Matters

Youth under the care of FCCS often experience abuse, neglect or other difficult situations. The toy drive is an opportunity for the community to provide children a joyful outlet. Donations also can be made online at http://childrenservices.franklincountyohio.gov 

"Being involved in our community is an important part of the Grove City Division of Police core values,” said Police Chief Richard S. Fambro. “We look forward to the Cram the Cruiser toy drive every year as an opportunity to share joy with 6,000-plus children under the care of FCCS while interacting with Grove City residents.”

Go Deeper: Since 2015, the community has supported the annual toy drive, including volunteers of the Grove City Citizens Police Academy, Grove City United Methodist Church, Parks and Recreation V.I.P. youth, local civic groups and individual residents.
