Mercer's Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) department kicked off its annual holiday toy drive on Friday with plans to run through mid-December, according to a news release.

The PSP is requesting new, unwrapped toys that can be dropped off in the lobby of their station until Dec. 17, 2025. 

The department collects toys in conjunction with the Children's Aid Society of Mercer to help make sure all children have something to unwrap around the holidays. 

The PSP Mercer station is located on 139 Steingrabe Road in Mercer.
