For more than two decades, firefighters across Southern California have collected new toys and sports equipment for children in need. Last year, more than 450,000 toys were collected and distributed during the holiday season.
Redlands firefighters are again honored to contribute to this effort. All toys and equipment collected in Redlands will be distributed locally. Some toys will be brought by firefighters to the Boys & Girls Club of Redlands Christmas event held at the Burrage Mansion.
You, too, can open your heart and join Redlands firefighters in this tradition. Drop off any new, unwrapped toy or sports equipment to any of the four Redlands Fire Stations:
-Fire Station 261, 525 E. Citrus Ave.
-Fire Station 262, 1690 Garden St.
-Fire Station 263, 10 W. Pennsylvania Ave.
-Fire Station 264, 1270 W. Park Ave.
-Citrus Plaza with KFRG Radio Station every Thursday and Sunday through the month of December for toy collection.
1. Thursdays - 3 to 6 p.m.
2. Sundays – 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
