CASTRO VALLEY, CA — Christmas will be much brighter for more than 200 local children, thanks to the generosity of the community.

All of these toys were contributed to the Alameda County Fire Department's annual toy drive. They were delivered on Monday to Redwood Chapel for distribution, which took place on Tuesday.

Bebe Duarte from the Castro Valley Bowling League, the State Farm Julie Sumikis Office, and Boy Scouts Pack 722 also helped out.
