Local Toy Drive Kicks Off

Submitted by the Stoneham Fire Department:

The holidays are fast approaching and the Stoneham Fire Department, Stoneham Town Clerk’s office, along with “Toys for Local Children” will be conducting their annual toy collection. We will be collecting new, unwrapped toys for children of all ages. The age range that is most often forgotten is children from 10 to 16. Gift cards work great for this group.

Collection boxes have been placed at the Stoneham Fire Station, Stoneham Police Station, Stoneham Town Hall, Stoneham Public Library, and Stoneham Bank on Montvale Avenue. The collection box pick up date will be Dec. 20.

Toys will be accepted at the Fire Station until Dec. 24.

Anyone needing assistance for this holiday season should visit the Town of Stoneham website for an application. Applications can also be picked up at the Town Clerks office. All applications should be returned to the Town Clerk Maria Sagarino no later than Dec. 15.

If anyone has any questions, please contact Firefighter Michael Labriola or Firefighter Dan Kelleher at the Stoneham Fire Department, 781-438-0127.
