Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings Launches 11th Annual Toy Drive

Online gift shopping and toy drop-off benefits local families

Mayor Demings' SealWHAT: With the continued need in our area due to the economic effects of COVID-19, Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings has launched the 2021 Orange County Mayor’s Toy Drive. Now in its 11th year, the Toy Drive has collected over 56,000 toys that directly benefit local youth to ensure a happy holiday season. Last year alone, the drive collected a record-breaking 11,000 toys and served over 500 families countywide.

For safety and convenience, toy donations can be made online through Monday, December 6, 2021; or toys can be dropped off in-person at 21 countywide collection sites through Monday, December 13, 2021.

WHO: Residents are encouraged to purchase a new, unwrapped toy and either drop off in-person or make an online donation. We serve children and youth – from infants to teens. Cash, gift cards and plush toys are not accepted. Please include extra items where appropriate. For example, please purchase batteries with electronic toys, or crayons with a coloring book.
