Embracing the spirit of the season, the Wayzata Police Department has once again initiated its annual Toys for Tots donation drive. This time-honored campaign, with roots dating back to 1947, continues to unite the community in a collective effort to bring holiday joy to children in need.

Founded by the United States Marine Corps Reserve, Toys for Tots has become a cherished tradition nationwide. What began as a humble initiative to deliver hope to underprivileged children during the holidays has grown into a yearly occurrence, symbolizing the power of giving.
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.
