The holiday season is about giving as much as it is getting. Donate toys with the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
AGOURA HILLS, CA — The Los Angeles County Fire Department wants to help get toys in the hands of kids who need them.
The department’s annual Spark of Love donation event, in partnership with ABC7, Toys for Tots and other Southern California firefighters, is well underway. County firefighters will collect and distribute new, unwrapped toys and sports equipment for underserved children throughout Southern California to open throughout the holiday season.
“Over the years, the Spark of Love toy drive has successfully collected and distributed nearly 9 million toys. Let’s make this year’s holiday season even brighter by delivering joy to those who need it most,” the department said on its website.
