Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings Launches 12th Annual Toy Drive

November 21, 2022 by Orange County Government

With the community continuing to recover from the effects of recent storms and many families in need, Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings has launched the 2022 Orange County Mayor’s Toy Drive. Now in its 12th year, the Toy Drive has collected over 65,000 gifts that directly benefit local youth. Last year, the drive collected more than 9,500 toys and serviced Orange County Neighborhood Centers for Families and 17 other local organizations.

The Orange County Mayor’s Toy Drive serves children and youth – from infants through teens. Please include extra items where appropriate. For example, batteries with electronic toys, or crayons with a coloring book. Please note that we are unable to accept cash, gift cards or plush toys. Visit www.ocfl.net/ToyDrive for a full list of suggested toys and gifts for various age groups.

Residents are encouraged to purchase new, unwrapped toys or gifts to support the Orange County Mayor’s Toy Drive. For safety and convenience, donations can be made online through Tuesday, December 6, 2022; or toys can be dropped off at one of the 21-countywide collection sites through Monday, December 12, 2022.

ONLINE SHOPPING:

This contactless donation option is available through Tuesday, December 6, 2022, by simply visiting www.ocfl.net/ToyDrive and following the online option link. This allows donors to purchase items for the Mayor’s Toy Drive from their phones or computer. All donations ship to the Orange County holiday warehouse.

Local businesses are encouraged to support the drive by forming teams and setting goals with either a dollar value or a number of items goal for their drive. Visit www.ocfl.net/ToyDrive for more information about participating as a business.

IN-PERSON DONATIONS:In-person donations will be accepted now through Monday, December 12, 2022, for donors who prefer to purchase their toys for donation in person, and drop them off at a collection site.
