Maryland Department of Natural Resources Police officers are collecting donations of new, unopened toys for children in need in the annual “Boatload of Toys” drive in the state. The program is part of the national United States Marine Corps Toys for Tots initiative. Members of NRP’s volunteer Reserve Officer program and staff will collect the toys at several drop-off locations in each region of the state–southern, eastern, central, and western. New additions to the program this year include an increase in donation drop off points and a partnership with Amazon, which is offering Marylanders the opportunity to donate a toy online via a Toys for Tots Registry hosted on Amazon’s platform. Donations can be easily added to an Amazon cart, choosing the “NRP Safety Education Unit” gift registry address that is listed. 

NRP’s Boatload of Toys staff will accept donations of new, unwrapped toys at the following locations this year including on December 2nd at the Berlin Walmart on Ocean Gateway in Berlin and the Denton Walmart on 610 Legion Road in Denton.
