The Moraga Police Officers Association's 2010 Stuffed Animals for Emergencies (S.A.F.E.) program collected a total of 1578 stuffed animals over the holiday season, more than doubling the previous record! Our community really got into it this year, and we'd like to thank the citizens for their generosity and assistance.

S.A.F.E. distributes stuffed animals to children in need - for example, donated stuffed animals are stored in police cars so officers can give them to children they may encounter in any type of traumatic or tragic situation.
