As the season of giving approaches, help create a brighter holiday for local families in need by donating to the Piedmont Fire Department’s annual holiday toy drive. Donation bins are now available at City Hall and the Piedmont Recreation Department.
By joining hundreds of other Piedmonters in contributing one or more new, unwrapped toys to this longstanding tradition, you can help ensure every child in our area has a gift to open this holiday season.
All toys collected will be distributed to families in Oakland and Alameda County. Toys dropped off before Dec. 11 will be distributed through the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. Toys donated on or after Dec. 11 will be distributed at the annual Three Wise Men toy giveaway in Oakland’s Fruitvale neighborhood.
Bins will remain out for donations through Dec. 23.
City Council to make donations during Dec. 2 Council meeting
The Dec. 2, 2024 City Council meeting will open with a ceremonial presentation encouraging residents to support the toy drive. Per tradition, each Councilmember will place a toy into the donation bins.
Community members in attendance are welcome to contribute toys during the presentation as well. From dolls and action figures to books and board games, every donation makes a difference.
