Now running for over a decade, the annual event saw a strong turnout again last year, and Detective Joey Gault with the Greenville Police Department's Drug Enforcement Unit said they’re looking to continue trying to make an even larger impact each year.

Law enforcement will be out front at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena from now through 10am Friday morning collecting donations.

There are also various other collection spots available at different businesses, schools, churches and fire departments around the Greenville area and nearby communities. You can find a full list of those sites on their website, LEOSantaKids.com.
