The Watertown Police Department will collect children’s clothing as part of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service.

Donations of like-new/gently-used children’s items will be accepted at the Watertown Police Station, 552 Main St, Watertown, from Jan. 9 to 16th. The items will be given to Cradles to Crayons, which will give them to children ages 0-12 who are living in homeless or low-income situations.

They seek children's long sleeve shirts, sweatpants and shirts, winter coats (girls and boys sizes: infant to 18/20 or adult medium), winter boots (boys and girls sizes: infant, child 0-13 and adult 1-10) and other winter clothing (newborn, child size 18/20 or adult medium).
