This holiday season will be a little brighter for some children in need thanks to a Nassau County police officer.
Officer Peter Ellison and his "elves" dropped off six boxes filled with toys for children at Winthrop University Hospital.

This year, he is picking up and dropping off a total of 50 boxes of toys throughout Nassau County.
The toys are donated by other officers, police department employees and residents.

Donations can be dropped off at any police facility in Nassau County until Christmas Eve.
