It’s holiday time in Bonney Lake and thoughts are turning to the needs of others.

The Bonney Lake Police Department is accepting donations of new, unwrapped toys for its 2010 giving tree and the annual citywide food drive is officially under way.

The giving tree collects toys for needy children and families in the area. Donations of new toys can be dropped off at the Bonney Lake Public Safety Building, 18421 Old Buckley Hwy.

Residents are also encouraged to pick a specific child’s tag off of the giving tree quilt, in the lobby.

Drop boxes at the public safety building can be accessed from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The city is also collecting nonperishable food items to donate to the Bonney Lake Food Bank and the Bonney Lake Senior Center. A drop box is also available at the public safety building. The food drive runs through Dec. 10.

Other drop-off locations for food and toys are Bonney Lake Grocery Outlet, Probuild and KeyBank.
