Oswego Fire Collecting Donations for Toys for Tots

The Oswego Fire Protection District will once again be collecting toys for this year’s Toys For Tots program.

Every year the Oswego Fire Protection District, Oswego School District 308 Jr. High Schools, United Stated Marine Corps and the Oswego Optimist Club team up to collect toys for families in need during the holiday season.

The Fire District, the Jr. High’s and Marine Corps collect the toys and The Oswego Optimist Club distributes the toys just before Christmas.

Anyone wishing to participate and help out local families in need may drop off a new unwrapped toy at any of the Oswego Fire Stations.

If you are a family in need or you know a family in need, contact the Oswego Fire Department at 630-554-2110. The OFPD will help you and your family have a happy holiday season this year.

You may also go to the Oswego Optimist Club website directly and make contact with them requesting assistance for the holidays.

Last year, the OFPD collected over 4,000 toys that were distributed in the Kendall County area. In addition, it collected 44 bicycles with its bicycle drive that were also distributed.

If you have any questions, contact Captain John Cornish at 630-554-2110.
