As the holiday season nears, the Ocoee Police Department, in partnership with radio station FLY 103.1 will be accepting new and unwrapped toy donations for children in need at the Walmart in Ocoee, with a fun twist.

Each donation will be put inside a police car in the hopes of stuffing the car full of toys.

A post from one of the Police Department’s social media pages said it will be “collecting toys to be used to help families brighten the holiday for their kids!”

The toy drive will be on Nov. 18 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. at the Walmart located at 10500 West Colonial Drive.
