🎄 Marion Police Department Foundation’s Annual Toy Drive: Spreading Joy & Honoring a Legacy 🎁

December 20, 2025 • 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM • Hamasa Temple Shrine

The Christmas season has always brought out the best in the Town of Marion — warm hearts, helping hands, and a community that shows up when it matters most. This year, the Marion Police Department Foundation is once again leading the way with its Annual Toy Drive, a beloved tradition dedicated to serving local children and families who need a little extra holiday cheer—spearheaded by our Marion superheroes — Police Chief Randall Davis, Assistant Chief Hopson, and Mayor Larry Gill.

This year’s event is especially meaningful as it is held in loving memory of the Honorable Judge Ondray Harris, Sr. His legacy of service, compassion, and commitment to our community continues to inspire us all.

🎁 How You Can Help Bring Christmas Cheer

The Toy Drive depends on the generosity of our community — and every single contribution makes a difference.

We are accepting:

• New, unwrapped toys

• Monetary donations

Donations may be dropped off at Marion Town Hall leading up to the event. Whether it’s a teddy bear, a toy truck, a doll, or a puzzle, your gift will light up a child’s Christmas morning.
