RANCHO SANTA FE — The Rancho Santa Fe Firefighters are once again hosting an
annual holiday toy drive in hopes of making the season a bit brighter local children. This year they have teamed up with the Toys for Tots Program.
“We look forward to this event every year,” said Dave McQuead, toy drive coordinator. “It’s a simple gesture, but it can make such a difference for these kids. We hope that partnering with Toys for Tots will allow us to reach even more children this Christmas.”
Donations of new, unwrapped toys are now being accepted through Dec. 23. While toys for all ages will be accepted, there is an increased demand this year for donations for boys and girls ages 10 through 14. Please drop toys off at any one of the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District’s fire stations:
— Fire Station No. 1: 16936 El Fuego in Rancho Santa Fe
— Fire Station No. 2: 16930 Four Gee Road in 4S Ranch
— Fire Station No. 3: 6424 El Apajo in Fairbanks Ranch
— Fire Station No. 4: 18040 Calle Ambiente in Cielo
Directions to fire stations can be found at www.rsf-fire.org.
