The Sammamish Police Department will begin accepting Toys for Tots on Nov. 1.

Those interested in contributing new toys for needy children can drop donations by City Hall, located at 801 228th Ave. S.E.

The U.S. Marine Corps-sponsored program is a non-profit effort supported by the City of Sammamish and the King County Sheriff’s Office. Donations will be accepted until 5 p.m., Dec. 14.

All gifts should be new and unwrapped. There will be two collection bins located inside City Hall and available during normal business hours.

One bin will be located in the Sammamish Police Department lobby near the main entrance to City Hall. The second bin will be on the second floor in the King County Sheriff’s Office lobby.

Donations also will be accepted during the city’s annual Holiday Lighting Ceremony on Nov. 28 from 5:30-6:30 p.m.
