Hello Everyone,

As Christmas draws near, I would like to remind you all about our toy drive.  All (new and unwrapped) toys will be sent to the Los Angeles Fire Department's, Spark of Love Toy Drive.  All toys are distributed through Social Services to children in foster care, who will wake up on Christmas morning without their moms and their dads and in an unfamiliar home.

Please find it in your hearts to pick out a new toy for this drive, so that each child in Los Angeles can wake up Christmas morning and have something to call their own.
