TOYS FOR TOTS DELIVERY!
Today PPD members delivered an abundance of toys that were collected at our department. The Toys for Tots donation bins were dropped off at the Operation Blessing's Christmas Giveaway. For years, Operation Blessing volunteers have transformed the Greenleaf Rec center into the equivalent of the North Pole. They continue to provide gifts and meals to hundreds of Portsmouth families as well as those from the Seacoast, Northern NH, & Southern Maine. Thank you to the public and department employees for your generous donations!
