OCEAN CITY, Md. - The Ocean City Police Department has kicked off its annual Holiday Toy Drive, collecting new, unwrapped toys for Worcester County GOLD.
Organizers request that toys be valued at $40 or less and ask that items such as jewelry, bicycles, electronics, video games and toy weapons be excluded.
The department says gifts for teens including clothing, shoes, headphones and room decor are especially welcome.
The donations will benefit the nonprofit’s Helping Hands for the Holidays program, which provides gifts to more than 500 individuals across Worcester County each year, says the department. This marks the tenth consecutive year the OCPD has partnered with GOLD to support families in need during the holiday season.
Toy donations can be dropped off at the Public Safety Building at 6501 Coastal Highway.
