New Brunswick, NJ police and Hess Toy Trucks team up to help sick kids

As we head toward the holiday season, it’s time for uplifting stories, like this one from New Brunswick.

Hess Toy Truck and the New Brunswick Police Department will team up to deliver dozens of coveted Hess Holiday Toy Trucks to the kids and families of Children’s Specialized Hospital, an RWJBarnabas Health facility.

The donation of police-themed vehicles will be distributed directly by the general manager of Hess Toy Truck and by the men and women of the New Brunswick Police Department. Officers will spend the morning with the inspiring young kids and their families, gifting each with their very own 2023 Toy Police Truck and Police Cruiser.

The heavy-duty, dual-axle Police Truck is a geared-up, green-colored tactical transport enhanced with bold white striping, emblems, and glistening chrome embellishments, including a fully chromed front end with push bar, cab-mounted emergency light bar, bumpers, fuel tanks, mirrors, wheels, and exhaust pipes.

Here’s how RWJBarnabas describes the hospital:
