New Hope Sponsors Food, Toy and Coat Drives

Posted on 11/04/2024

New Hope City employees are sponsoring food, toy and coat drives to benefit community members in need during the upcoming holiday season.

Food Drive
Nonperishable food donations are collected at New Hope City Hall all year; however, larger drives occur in time for the holidays. The collected nonperishable food items will be distributed to NEAR before the holidays. Those who prefer to donate by cash or check can see a staff member at the front counter. Please ensure donations are not opened or past their “use by” date.

Toy Drive
Donations of new, unopened toys may be placed in the toy drive bins in the police department lobby through Dec. 13. Those who would prefer to donate by cash or gift card may see a staff person at the police department counter. Donations will be distributed to local organizations and used for the department’s annual Blue Santa event.

Coat Drive
The New Hope Police Department is collecting new or gently used coats in all sizes. Donations will be delivered to the Salvation Army for distribution. Coat donations may be dropped off through Nov. 29.

Both toy and coat donations may be made at the police station lobby, which is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Community members can drop off food drive donations at New Hope City Hall, located at 4401 Xylon Ave N, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Thank you to the New Hope community for helping make the holidays brighter for local families in need!
