Bordentown, your firefighters are helping fill Santa’s sleigh this season!
Bordentown Professional Firefighters FMBA Local 112 are collecting new, unwrapped Toys for Tots donations through December 10.
You can drop off at either Bordentown firehouse:
📍 262 Crosswicks Rd
📍 51 Groveville Rd
Plus, you’ll find collection boxes at local partners like Chickie’s & Pete’s, The Goddard School, Tractor Supply Co., Town Barbershop, and the Village Grand at Crosswicks Creek.
Let’s make the holidays brighter for kids in need — one toy at a time.
For questions: 609-298-8527
Your bank isn't texting you to move your money somewhere "safe." Amazon isn't calling about an $899 order you never placed.
Meet Scammers #05 and #06. They borrow the names of companies you already trust, and they always hand you a number to call or a link to tap.
Don't use either one. Open the official app or call the number on the back of your card. Your bank will never ask you to move money to protect it, and it will never send a courier to pick up cash. Same with Zelle: no real rep will ask you to send money to yourself.
Not sure? Call us. 609-298-4300.

That call is designed to make you panic, and it works. Scammers can now copy a loved one's voice from short clips posted online.
Meet Scammers #03 and #04. The Fake Grandkid needs bail money right now. The Fake Sheriff says you have a warrant and can make it go away today with gift cards or bitcoin.
Real talk: police don't call to collect money, and no court takes gift cards. Hang up. Call your grandkid directly. Call us. And think about a family code word that only your family would know.
609-298-4300. We'd much rather get the call than take the report.
