In an effort to make the holidays more joyful for underprivileged kids, the Seattle Fire Department and the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves are urging the public to donate to the yearly Toys for Tots toy drive. Residents of Seattle are encouraged to deliver new, unwrapped toys, games, books, and other presents to designated fire stations across the city on December 7 from 1 to 3 p.m., according to a statement that Seattle Fireline was able to receive.
For the toy drive, fire stations in five neighborhoods—from Ballard to Magnolia—will open their doors, giving residents an opportunity to meet their Seattle firefighters and spread holiday cheer. As donors drop off their money, the firefighters will greet them, give out candy canes, and allow them to take pictures in front of a fire engine. Donations for frequently disregarded age groups, like babies and teenagers, are especially requested and could include things like books, developmental toys, and skincare goods.
Regretfully, the Seattle fire stations will no longer be able to receive toy donations when they have finished gathering things on December 7. The Seattle Fire Department advises anyone who might be unable to attend to consider making a donation in another way. Contributions to local food banks and online gifts to Toys for Tots are suggested as worthwhile substitutes for traditional forms of community assistance, as detailed on Seattle Fireline.
Residents who are unable to attend on December 7 can still donate to the Toys for Tots campaign until December 16 at a number of venues in the Seattle region. For further information on where to bring your donations, see the Seattle Fireline page. To ensure that the Toy for Tots drive can continue to benefit people in need throughout the holiday season, there is an option for anyone who would prefer to make a monetary donation to do so online.
Every donation, no matter how big or small, makes a significant difference, and the Seattle community’s support is crucial to the Toys for Tots campaign’s success. The partnership between the Marine Corps Reserves and the Seattle Fire Department demonstrates a concerted effort to make the holiday season happy for families all around the neighborhood.
