For those attending the Town of Lexington Snowball Festival events, toy donations can be given at the Lexington Police Department tent on Thursday and Friday. We ask that those attending the Christmas Parade on Sunday, December 3, 2023, to bring toys that will be loaded into the pontoon boat as it travels down Main Street during the parade.
On Thursday, December 12, 2023, officers and V.I.P.S. will be at Clutch Coffee, located at 308 Columbia Avenue, from 5:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m., and all profits from that day will go to
purchasing more toys for our “Pack the Pontoon” campaign. Toys can also be dropped off at the Lexington Police Department tent in the parking lot during this event.
For those that can’t make it to a collection event, Toys for Tots donations will be accepted at the Lexington Police Department, located at 111 Maiden Lane, during business through December.
All cash and check donations made during the Toys for Tots “Pack the Pontoon” campaign will be used for shopping sprees with Chief Terrence Green and Community Action Team officers to purchase additional toys for the Marines Toys for Toys Foundation.
Special thanks to Dynamic Marine and Motorsports for allowing our department to use one of their new boats during the Toys for Tots “Pack the Pontoon” campaign.
