The Toms River Police Department encourages Ocean County residents to band together and reach out to neighbors with artwork and letters.

Between now and April 15, in a partnership with the Toms River Senior Center and Ocean County Board of Social Services, the Toms River PD is collecting art and correspondence at this email address: media@tepolice.org

Police plan to print the letters and artwork and attach them to care packages.

"We have seen so much kindness and generosity toward this police department, especially in the last few weeks in response to COVID-19," Toms River PD wrote on its Facebook page. "We do have a little request for our community. We are kindly asking future donations be directed to our residents in need. It’s tough times like these that we come together… but currently apart."

"Tonight we are launching a letter writing campaign and we need you!" the post read. "Please share with your friends and family. We are in in this together! Stay safe, stay smart, stay healthy!"
