'Spark of Love Toy Drive': ABC7 & SoCal Firefighters Celebrate 20 Years of Giving

SPARK OF LOVE TOY DRIVE

ABC7 and Southern California Firefighters are celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Spark of Love Toy Drive. Over the past two decades, the Spark of Love Toy Drive has successfully collected more than seven million toys. The campaign collects new, unwrapped toys and sports equipment for underserved children and teens in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, Ventura and Riverside counties. Toys collected in the respective counties are distributed locally. Our goal is to exceed last years' collection of 500,000 toys.
