CMPD Sgt Alvarez Memorial Toy Drive

On behalf of the entire Cape May Police Department, we hope this finds you safe and well. This holiday season will undoubtedly be a bit different for everyone, and many are facing difficult times. While the true meaning of Christmas can be found in time spent with loved ones, that may not be possible for many as we attempt to stay safe in these new times.  To spread some extra cheer for local children each year, in memory of Sgt Bill Alvarez, the Cape May City Police Department collects and distributes gifts and necessities to anyone in need. However, with the challenges and consequences of Covid-19 throughout 2020, we anticipate there will be many more families seeking assistance from this charity due to personal and financial hardship. To try and give as many children as good a holiday as possible, we are asking those who are willing and able, to please make a donation either via this page, or directly to the department in the form of checks, cash, or unwrapped toys for children of any age. Funds collected go directly to purchasing gifts and items greatly needed.  Pickups for donations can be arranged by calling [phone redacted]. Additionally, if you or someone you know is in need of assistance with the holidays this year, please call the department and ask for Dorann Heminway or Dawn Kennedy as soon as possible and we will be happy to help. We thank each and everyone of you in advance, and sincerely wish you and your families a healthy and happy holiday season.
