The city of West Hollywood and the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station are partnering to help give back to those in need this holiday season with the 32nd annual West Hollywood Toy and Food Drive.

Monetary donations will be accepted until Friday, Dec.16, with the goal of providing as many families as possible with toys and holiday gift cards. Donations may be made online by visiting weho.org/holidaydrive. New users must create an account and click on the donations tab to contribute.

“Our generous West Hollywood community has helped provide nearly 10,000 local families who would have gone without with a holiday meal and toys over the last three decades,” West Hollywood Mayor Lauren Meister said. “I send a huge thank you to the amazing people of the city of West Hollywood for helping to brighten the holidays for families in need through your contributions. I wish you all a happy and safe holiday season.”

The cost to help one family is $95 and up to 10 families can be helped with $950. New unwrapped toys are also needed and gift cards to retailers such as Pavilions, Ralphs, Trader Joe’s and Target. Toy collection bins are located at West Hollywood City Hall, 8300 Santa Monica Blvd., and the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station, 780 N. San Vicente Blvd. Numerous hotels will also have collection bins: Andaz West Hollywood, Chamberlain West Hollywood, Chateau Marmont, Hotel 850 SVB, Le Parc at Melrose, The London West Hollywood, Montrose at Beverly Hills, Ramada Plaza West Hollywood, and Hotel Ziggy. Toys and donations can also be dropped off at the West Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, 8272 Santa Monica Blvd.
