Desired items include soft-cover novels, word search books, crossword puzzle books, word jumble books, jigsaw puzzles, no-slip socks, slippers, bathrobes, blankets, sweaters, scarves, gloves, hats, jams, teas, hard candies, chocolates, cough drops, lip balm, and toiletries.
It's the season of giving, and with the town's help, Tiverton PD hopes to spread love and good cheer for the holidays.
