BELLEVUE, WA — The Bellevue Firefighters Community Support Foundation's annual holiday donation drive is back for another year, looking to help thousands of Eastside families afford gifts for under the Christmas tree.

Instead of gathering toys directly this year, the BFCSF and Bellevue Parks & Community Services are soliciting cash to help buy gift cards to distribute to families in need. All donations will go to community partners, like Bellevue LifeSpring and Jubilee Reach, which will use the funds to purchase and distribute the gift cards.

Organizers encourage online donations via the BFCSF website, but neighbors can also mail checks.
