Mark your calendars and head to the nearest fire station to give today.
The Toys for Joy program collects new, unwrapped toys for children up to 12 years of age that are then collected, sorted, wrapped, and delivered to local food banks and outreach programs for distribution to families in need in the communities within Puget Sound Fire’s response area. In addition to toys, non-perishable food, and monetary donations (cash and checks) are also accepted and will go directly towards helping local families. Donations are being accepted at any one of Puget Sound Fire’s fire stations and participating businesses between 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭 – 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬.
The Jerry Woods Holiday Engine will be visiting several Covington, Kent, and Maple Valley neighborhoods Friday and Saturday evenings, December 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 and 21. Neighborhood route schedules will be updated at www.holidayengine.org. Holiday Engines will also visit neighborhoods in SeaTac and Tukwila on December 8 and Kent neighborhoods on December 12 with routes to be posted at www.pugetsoundfire.org/toysforjoy. The engines will be collecting food, gifts, and monetary donations that will go to the local food banks for distribution.
