The Minot Police Department and North Dakota Fraternal Order of Police – Souris Valley Regional Lodge #7 are again partnering to accept donations of new unwrapped toys for less privileged families in the region. All donations are divided evenly between the Salvation Army and Community Action Partnership. Both organizations use the toys to stock “free stores” for parents and guardians to choose from and give to their children for the holidays when they might not have otherwise had the resources to do so.
Each year with the generosity of the public, we’ve stuffed between four to six patrol cars full of toys, as well as delivered cash donations to both organizations.
