The Coral Springs Police Department starts its annual Toy Drive on Monday, Nov. 16, and is asking residents to pick up an extra gift for children who might otherwise go without over the holidays.
Families can drop off new, unwrapped toys at seven locations across the city. They include the police department lobby at 2801 Coral Springs Drive and City Hall at 9500 W. Sample Road. Several restaurants and businesses on North University Drive and Sample Road are also serving as collection points, including Wings Plus, Chick-fil-A, Runyon’s and Tijuana Taxi Co.
Police said the drive is one of the department’s longest-running community traditions and helps hundreds of families each year. Requested items include sports and outdoor gear, action figures and baby dolls, Legos, board games, Bluetooth speakers, headphones, and skin care and grooming sets. Stuffed animals and toy guns are not accepted.
The last day to donate is Monday, Dec. 14. Residents with questions can contact Monica Vargas at 954-346-1311 or mvargas@coralsprings.gov.
