Spread holiday cheer this season by helping the Georgia Department of Public Safety and Marine Corps Reserve collect toys for needy children!

Collection boxes are being placed at Department of Public Safety locations throughout the state.  Donated toys should be new and unwrapped, and may be dropped off at Georgia State Patrol posts between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays.  Additional collection sites are in the lobby at the Georgia Department of Public Safety Headquarters on East Confederate Avenue in Atlanta and the Capitol Police Services office at: 180 Central Avenue near the Georgia State Capitol.

Donations will stay in the county in which the donation was received, allowing donations to benefit children in the local community.

Thank you for helping to make the holiday season bright for kids in need!
