The Violet Township Fire Department’s annual Holiday Toy Drive kicked off Nov. 22 and runs through Dec. 23.
Many children may not receive gifts this holiday season without everyone’s help. The Violet Township Fire Department and the Violet Township Fire Fighters IAFF Local 3558 are leading the effort to collect new, unwrapped toys for area children.
There is also a great need every year for gift cards and monetary donations to assist families of older kids and those with special needs. Toys may be dropped off at any Violet Township firehouse and at many businesses throughout the Pickerington area. Call us for locations, or just look for the Big Red Box at area retail and community gathering locations.
You may also visit the Holiday Toy Drive page on Facebook for regular updates. Just search for “Violet Township Firefighters Toy Drive.” If your family is in need, please contact Fairfield County Information and Referral at 740-687-0500 as soon as possible to begin your paperwork for assistance.
If you have any questions, please contact Firefighter Jim Barber, Lt. Gregg Goodwin, Lt. Dave Belcher, Firefighter Liz Pfeifer or Prevention Officer Don Searls at our Toy Drive Hotline, 614-382-5952, or email us at toys@violet.oh.us.
We are committed to assisting those in need and are once again asking our generous community for support. With your help, this endeavor can once again be a huge success.
