The holidays are right around the corner and Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings has officially launched this year's Orange County Mayor’s Toy Drive for 2022, and this year the toy drive is celebrating 12 years of giving back to the community.
With families recovering from the impacts of Hurricane Ian, and Storm Nicole, this year’s toy drive is more important than ever, and you can help make the holiday season merry and bright for those in need here in Orange County by dropping off a new, unwrapped toy in person or by shopping virtually in Orange Counties new online store.
All donations benefit Orange County youth and family agencies.
Between now and December 12, 2022, Orange County will be collecting new and unwrapped toys, including books, LEGO sets, Barbie dolls, sports equipment and sports balls, toy trucks, craft kits, and junior board games, all to benefit Orange County youth and family agencies.
