• Irvine City Hall and Irvine Police Department, 1 Civic Center Plaza: 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Monday–Friday

Donations can also be dropped off during two Drive-Thru Drop-Off events at Irvine Civic Center, located at 1 Civic Center Plaza, on the following days:

• Sunday, December 4, and Saturday, December 10, from 9 a.m. to noon.
