Westport police are ensuring children have presents under the tree this year.

The department is holding their annual toy drive at ASF Sports & Outdoors on Post Road East this weekend and next weekend.

Officers will be at the store from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

People are asked to donate new and unwrapped toys that will be given to area children.

Corporal Craig Bergmano says officers appreciate the community's help.

"I think it's definitely very important that law enforcement does what we do every year and that's to interact with the community and give back to the community that we protect and to help people that are less fortunate," he says.

Toys can also be dropped off at the police department, Awesome Toys & Gifts and the Toy Post until Dec. 15.
