Firefighters Collecting Toys For Tots Donations

WOODSTOCK, GA — Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services is collecting toys for the annual Toys for Tots campaign. Residents are encouraged to bring new, unwrapped toys to any Cherokee County fire station or the agency's headquarters at 150 Chattin Drive in Canton before Dec. 15.

The Atlanta Toys for Tots Campaign supports 17 metro Atlanta counties, including Cherokee, and all toys collected are given to children within the region.

"Please remember this charity when you are out shopping this holiday season and help them fill all the requests this year," CCFES said.

For more than 60 years, the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program has delivered a message of hope to children through this simple act of kindness. The Atlanta Toys for Tots, a local affiliate of the national program, is working with local and regional agencies to bring the joy of Christmas to less fortunate children in the metro area.

Information about the Atlanta Toys for Tots program can be found on its website. For more information about fire station locations or donations locally, contact Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services Headquarters at (678) 493-4000 or visit the website.
