SF Firefighter Toy Drive

/

Join us in giving back this holiday season with the annual SF Firefighter Toy Drive!The San Francisco Toy Program, which helps individual families in need and serves various community organizations, including shelters for abused women and children, inner-city schools, children’s cancer wards, and pediatric AIDS units. The Toy Program believes that no child should be without a toy during the holiday season and runs strictly on donations to ensure that proceeds go to the children at Christmas time.

You can support the Toy Program by bringing a new, unwrapped toy to Sound Speech and Hearing Clinic in Suite 101 through Wednesday, December 20th. The Firefighters have asked us to emphasize that toys be new and unwrapped so they can be sorted for kids by the volunteers at SF Fire.

Below you will find suggestions from the San Francisco Fire Department for infants through 13 years old:

  1. Dolls of all nationalities

  2. Cultural books

  3. Sports Equipment- basketballs, footballs, kick-balls, soccer balls, tennis racquets and tennis balls

  4. Board games and puzzles

  5. Arts and Crafts

  6. Bicycles

  7. New stuffed animals

  8. Remote control cars

  9. Learning toys

  10. Baby Items- blankets, bottles, rattles

This Holiday Toy Drive is a great way to bring a little holiday joy to the youth of SF! Thanks for helping fill our bin!
