The UT Tyler Police Department is holding its annual public toy and supply drive for the Children's Advocacy Center of Smith County, Police Chief Mike Medders announced.
Participants may bring new, unwrapped toys for children ages 2 and older to the department no later than Friday, Dec. 16. The police department is located at 3410 Varsity Drive in the UT Tyler University Service Center, room 125.
"Please join The University of Texas at Tyler Police Department in making the holidays a little brighter for local children and their families," Medders said. "As a reminder, the department is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
The department will also accept additional items for the CAC to help fulfill the needs of children and families. These items include soap, baby shampoo, large diapers, basic cleaning supplies and toiletries.
