Lexington police are collecting toy donations. Here’s how you can give
The Lexington Police Department’s annual Christmas toy drive begins Monday.

Toys can be donated on these dates at these locations:

On the Learning Express donation days, the store will give a 25% discount on toys that will be donated, the police department said. The store also will give customers a 25% “comeback coupon” that can be used in January. Learning Express will donate $500 worth of toys to the department.
The police department also is accepting cash and check donations to be used for purchasing toys.
