The Cape Coral Police Department will hold its 15th annual “Fill The Boat” Toy Drive for the 2021 holiday season this weekend. Each year, almost 2,000 toys are collected.

During this upcoming weekend the Cape Coral Police Department will be collecting toys for Cape Coral children in need. The schedule is as follows:

• Friday, Dec. 3, the boat will be at Walmart, 1619 Del Prado Blvd. S. from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm.

• Saturday, Dec. 4, the boat will be at Walmart, 1619 Del Prado Blvd. S. from 10:00 am – 6:00 pm.

• Sunday, Dec. 5, the boat will be at Walmart, 1619 Del Prado Blvd. S. from 10:00 am – 6:00 pm.

A Cape Coral Police Department Marine Unit boat will be on display and will serve as the drop-off/collection point.

To donate, purchase a new, unwrapped toy and simply place it in the boat. At the end of the drive, the toys will be taken to the Cape Coral Police Department where they are then distributed to children in need throughout Cape Coral in time for the holidays.
