Hundreds of toys arrived Tuesday in the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the UConn Health Center.

They were delivered by state troopers with help from radio stations KC 101 and The River, which partnered with Connecticut State Police on their “stuff a cruiser” toy collection events throughout the state.

It took several trips to haul dozens of giant bags of toys, games and stuffed animals in what has become an annual NICU tradition. It originated as an effort to provide toys for children with siblings in NICU care.

“What a generous outpouring,” says Deborah Feigenbaum, NICU social work supervisor. “It’s an enormous amount of toys this year, the most we’ve ever had.”

It didn’t take long for the two long tables the NICU staff had set up to overflow with too many donated toys to count.
