PERRYSBURG | Police and Fire Collecting Toys for Tots Through Dec. 8

FOSTORIA — Perrysburg police and firefighters are collecting toys for the Marine Toys for Tots program through Dec. 8, the City of Perrysburg said Tuesday on Facebook.

Residents can drop off donations at two city public-safety locations, the city said:

The Perrysburg Police Division, 330 Walnut St.

Perrysburg Fire Division Headquarters, 26100 Fort Meigs Road.

The city’s Tuesday post announced the collection and listed those addresses and the Dec. 8 end date. A matching 2026 notice was not found on the city’s website Tuesday evening, so the Facebook announcement is the source for this year’s dates and drop-off sites.

Toys for Tots is the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve program that collects toys for children during the holiday season. Local campaigns typically ask for new, unwrapped toys, and donors should follow any instructions posted at the drop-off boxes or on the city’s page.

The Police Division is in downtown Perrysburg. Fire headquarters is on Fort Meigs Road. People dropping off gifts should use the public entrance at each building and look for the marked collection boxes.

The drive gives Perrysburg residents a nearby place to donate without making a separate trip to a regional warehouse. Police and fire stations are often used as collection points because they are familiar, staffed locations that families already know how to find.

Anyone unsure about hours, what items are being accepted, or whether a particular gift is suitable should check with the Police Division or Fire Division, or watch the city’s Facebook page for any updates before Dec. 8.
