Fairfax County Fire And Rescue Hosting Toy Drive
Residents can drop off new toys for children in need beginning Nov. 20.
FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA—Bring some holiday cheer to kids in need when you donate toys to Fairfax County Fire and Rescue's Toys for Tots drive.
All Fairfax County fire stations are accepting toy donations Monday, Nov. 20 through Monday, Dec. 18. Residents are asked to bring new, unwrapped toys. The drive will not accept toys used as weapons. Checks or money order donations can also be made payable to Toys for Tots.
Toys for Tots distributes toys to children in need and is run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve. The mission of the drive is to “bring holiday joy and deliver a message of hope to children.” It serves children from toddlers to age 17.
