What is “Bark Drop?” For the past 13 years, WWPD and the WWPBA have put forth a massive community effort to not only raise money and collect items for shelter animals, but make a celebratory day of delivering these items as well! The thousands of dollars worth of food, toys, and equipment for the shelter animals gets divided among several of our local Mercer County Shelters. Join us this year in once again collecting and distributing much needed love to our shelter friends! DOWNLOAD OUR BROCHURE to learn more!

We love helping hands! If you’re interested in being part of the process of loading the trucks and joining “Elf Team Six” in assisting in the delivery process, please contact Lauren Grogan at lgrogan@westwindsorpolice.com.
