KEENE, N.H. (MyKeeneNow) The New Hampshire State Police have launched their annual Toys for Tots campaign, and for Monadnock Region residents, this year’s only local drop-off event will take place in Keene.

Troopers will be at Target on Ash Brook Road on Saturday, Nov. 29, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., collecting new, unwrapped toys to help ensure children across the state have gifts to open this holiday season. The Keene stop is part of a statewide series of “fill the cruiser” events, but it is the sole local opportunity for area residents to donate in person.

In addition to the Keene event, State Police are holding collections at other locations throughout New Hampshire—including malls, Walmarts, and hospitals—as the agency works with the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program. The full campaign runs through Friday, Dec. 12, with additional drop-off sites available at State Police barracks outside the region.

Residents who prefer to ship donations may send toys via Amazon to:
Michal Sventek, PIO
NHSP – Operations Bureau
33 Hazen Drive
Concord NH 03305

The State Police will share updates on the drive throughout the season on Facebook, X, and Instagram.
