The Wayzata Police Department is proud to uphold this tradition, welcoming residents to participate by dropping off new, unwrapped toys at both the Wayzata Police Department and City Hall. This annual donation drive has become a cornerstone of community involvement, encouraging locals to contribute and make a positive impact on the lives of children.
