Annual Event Collects Donated Toys for Children In Need

 

Durham, N.C. - This holiday season, Durham children will have a little

on their fire engines in exchange for new, unwrapped toys for children
of all ages.  The toys will be distributed to children in need
throughout Durham County during the month of December. The DFD's
Toys-4-Rides is held in conjunction with the U.S. Marine's Toys-4-Tots
Program. 

 

Residents are encouraged to bring new, unwrapped toys for children of
all ages on Saturday, December 15 and Sunday, December 16, 2007, from 11
a.m. - 4 p.m. to Fire Station #2, located at 1001 Ninth Street, Durham.
Citizens who are unable to attend the Toys-4-Rides event, but still wish
to donate a toy, may deliver their toy to any of fire station during
business hours, from now until December 23.
