Spark Of Love Toy Drive In Temecula: Where To Drop Off A Christmas Toy

TEMECULA, CA?Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire stations are collecting toys for the annual Spark of Love Toy Drive for 2024.

The Spark of Love is considered the largest toy drive in the nation. This is the 32nd year firefighters will collect toys and sporting equipment to distribute to charities across the county and the country, according to organizers and Cal Fire spokesperson Karina Espinoza.

"The boxes are out! Drop off a new or unused toy at your local fire station," Espinoza told Patch. "Each station will work with charities in their community to distribute the toys."

The last day to drop off toys is Christmas Eve, but Southwest Riverside County requests you deliver them by Dec. 23.

Please join us in brightening the Holidays for underprivileged children by donating a new, unwrapped toy, ball, glove, or other sports equipment at your local Fire Station.

These locations will be accepting toys until December 23rd.
