‘Tis the season for the Spark of Love Toy Drive! The Orange County Fire Authority is proud to partner with KWAVE to collect toys for thousands of children within the OCFA service area, which includes 23 cities and unincorporated areas throughout Orange County.

The following Orange County cities have their own fire departments and are not part of the OCFA service area; they should be contacted directly for questions regarding their programs: Anaheim, Brea, Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley, Fullerton, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach, La Habra, Newport Beach, City of Orange, Placentia.

Last year we collected over 38,000 toys for children and teens in need. In addition to collecting toys at all 78 of our fire stations, we worked with 185 businesses and organizations within our service area to collect toys benefiting 125 non-profit agencies. We also held one Stuff-A-Bus event in conjunction with ABC7 and several toy donation events in the community.

Please email toydrive@ocfa.org if you have any questions or would like to support this year's toy drive.
