Disney has launched its 79th annual toy drive for the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, continuing a partnership that began in 1947; the organization says it has distributed 732 million toys to 325 million children. Several local drives are also seeking donations for children and families: Clarion County officials and community partners are collecting toys, gift cards and funds for children in foster care, while the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office is accepting toys for three local nonprofits. Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings has launched the 16th annual county toy drive, which has collected more than 110,000 toys and gifts since 2011.
