Spark of Love Toy Drive 2018 - Donate Today
ABC7, Southern California Firefighters, and Toys for Tots along with our presenting sponsor Walmart, are celebrating the 26th year of the Spark of Love Toy Drive! Firefighters and Marines will be joining forces to collect and distribute toys for youth in need. Over the past two and a half decades, Spark of Love Toy Drive has successfully collected more than nine million toys. The campaign collects new, unwrapped toys and sports equipment for underserved children and teens in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, Ventura and Riverside counties.
Our goal is to exceed last years’ collection of half a million toys. Due the recent fires, we are partnering with Walmart and Southern California firefighters for this kick-off the FIREFIGHTER APPRECIATION DAY event on Saturday, November 17th from 10AM until 4PM at various Walmart locations across Southern California (the two Riverside locations will be at 5200 Van Buren and 6250 Valley Springs.). You can drop-off new, unwrapped toys, or sports equipment. If you want to support your local firefighters. you can also donate online.
