| Police officers hand out donated pajamas to Mason District residents. |
The Mason District Police Station is participating in three separate campaigns to collect items for members of the community who need a little extra help during the holidays. Here’s how you can contribute:- There’s a box at the police station (6507 Columbia Pike) for the Communities of Trust’s Help from the Heart campaign, which is collecting new personal care items to be distributed by local food pantries.
These items are most in need: toothpaste, tooth brushes, deodorant, lotions, diapers, baby wipes, soap, shampoo, conditioner, feminine hygiene products, adult incontinence diapers, laundry and dish detergent, household cleaners, toilet paper, and paper towels. For information, contact 703-646-8994;
cotc@fairfaxcounty.gov.
- The Mason District’s “Gary Claus” campaign is collecting toys – for newborns through teenagers – at the police station. The deadline for donations is Dec. 12. Call the station for information, 702-256-8035.
- Mason District police officers are also collecting new pajamas and socks to be distributed to families in the Mason District. There will be a collection box in the police station lobby through Dec. 19. Contact: 703-256-8035.
