Wilmington Mayor Mike Purzycki announced the launch of the Mayor’s Annual Toy Drive!
Partnering with 17 nonprofit agencies, the city of Wilmington will spread the holiday cheer to hundreds of children and families who will receive new toys.
“In 2023 we provided toys to more than 1,200 children across our City,” said Mayor Purzycki, “and we hope to match – if not exceed – that number this year.”
