Wayland Police Toys For Tots Drive Changes Locations
The 2020 toy drive in Wayland has moved due to the coronavirus-related closure of the police station lobby.
WAYLAND, MA — Wayland police will hold a toy drive this year for Toys for Tots, but with some changes due to the pandemic.
The Wayland Police Department lobby is closed to the public due to rising cases of coronavirus. But the Bentley of Boston dealership, 533 Boston Post Road, and ACE Hardware, 70 Andrew Ave., have stepped in to serve as toy collection sites.
Donations can be dropped off at either location during regular business hours. Toys should be new and in the original packaging. This year's collection drive will run through Dec. 11.
