Holiday Toy Drive

Thank you to everyone who has supported our holiday toy drives over the years! The generosity of our community, local businesses, volunteers, and partner organizations has helped bring holiday smiles to countless children and families throughout Ventura County.

This year, the U.S. Marines Toys for Tots program will lead Ventura County’s holiday toy collection and distribution efforts. The Ventura County Fire Department (VCFD) and participating local fire departments are proud to support the campaign by providing convenient toy collection locations throughout the county.

How You Can Help

Beginning October 26, community members can drop off new, unwrapped toys at any fire station in Ventura County.

Our big holiday collection push is aiming to have most donations received by December 10 to support the holiday distribution. However, toy collections will continue through January 2.
