Firefighters Collect Toys for Tots

Donate new, unwrapped toys for needy children.

Drop off new, unwrapped toys at Fairfax City's two fire stations to give back this holiday season. 

Fairfax firefighters are collecting toys as part of the nationwide Toys for Tots campaign. The U.S. Marine Corps started the program in the 1940s. Participation in the campaign has become an annual tradition for fire departments in Northern Virginia. 

The toys are meant for children whose families aren't able to afford gifts this holiday season.
