“The ‘Cram the Cruiser’ toy drive is something that UK Police look forward to every holiday season,” said UK Police Chief Joe Monroe. “Being involved in our community is an important part of our core values, and this is a wonderful opportunity to help out the children and their families who are away from their homes while hospitalized. This initiative helps to relieve the stress and burden of shopping for Christmas gifts for parents that are unable to leave the hospital. It continues to grow every year, and we invite the UK and Lexington communities to help continue bringing smiles to the children and their families.”![]()

From now until December 15, people can drop off new unwrapped toys at the police department at 305 E Euclid Ave, Lexington, KY 40506, or have them mailed to the station directly. KCH has published a list of acceptable items by age, including toys and books for children ages infant to teen on their website.
