Officers collected items throughout November and early December. This year\u2019s drive marks DPS<\/abbr>\u2019 third year of collecting Toys for Tots at UH<\/abbr> Mānoa. During this year\u2019s donation period, DPS<\/abbr> collected hundreds of toys, filling nine large crates and making this their most successful drive to date.<\/p>\n

“We are always grateful for the support shown by the community in collecting gifts during our Toys for Tots drive, and we truly appreciate everyone who donated,” said DPS<\/abbr> Chief Andrew Black<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Toys were collected in a variety of ways this year. Some departments set up smaller donation centers and later brought their contributions to DPS<\/abbr>. DPS<\/abbr> also picked up donations from on-campus locations.<\/p>\n

The high volume of donations shows that charity is alive and well at UH<\/abbr> Mānoa. DPS<\/abbr> is grateful to all who contributed to this year\u2019s toy drive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
