Your Ventura, Oxnard, and Ventura County firefighters collect toy donations for distribution to local children in need to help provide a happier holiday experience. In 2020, we saw record-breaking success! Through generous donations from our communities, more than 15,000 local children and youth through over 30 non-profits were gifted by the kindness of our neighbors, businesses and supporting sponsors in 2020. This number more than doubled the reach of 6,000 children in 2019! The 2021 Holiday Season This year, the Spark of Love Toy Drive is a collaboration with Ventura City Fire, Ventura County Fire, Oxnard Fire, ABC 7, Food Share of Ventura County, and various other agencies. This special community campaign collects new, unwrapped toys and sports equipment for underserved children and teens in Ventura County. In 2021, we are also supporting Food Share in the fight against hunger in our county. Food Share will be providing boxes of food to families served thru this year's toy drive. Non-perishable food can also be donated at any participating location. Become a donation location! Local businesses can request a Spark of Love collection box for their location or event. If you wish to host a drive, please contact Crystal Stratton at Crystal.Stratton@Ventura.org to request a collection box. Participating businesses can pick up donation boxes, posters, and collateral materials starting November 1, 2021. Businesses collecting toys and food should drop-off donations to Toy Central no later than Monday, December 13th to ensure delivery to families in time for the holidays. Ways to Donate: Drop off your new, unwrapped toys or sports equipment and non-perishable food items at the Ventura Fire Department Headquarters located at 1425 Dowell Drive in Ventura. Bring your new, unwrapped toys or sports equipment to any participating business. Find all participating businesses throughout Ventura County here.

The need for holiday cheer is greater than ever and Spark of Love is only possible due to the ongoing generosity of thousands of people in our community." - Fire Chief David Endaya COVID-19 City Service Updates Fire Department Homepage Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) Press Releases Spark of Love Toy Drive Ventura Fire Foundation About Us Operations Community Involvement Emergency Preparedness Fire Prevention Contact Us CONTACT US Ventura Fire Department 1425 Dowell Drive Ventura, CA 93003 Monday - Thursday: 7:30 am - 5:30 pm (805) 339-4300 Closed Alternate Fridays & Holidays 24/7 Non-Emergency Line: (805) 650-8010 Ventura Fire Staff Directory City Staff Directory HELPFUL LINKS Fire Stations Fire Prevention Division Plan Checks & Permit Services- Community Development Fire News Releases City News Releases City of Ventura Social Media USING THIS SITE Home Site Map Resource Agencies Accessibility Copyright Notices Privacy Policy Selecteer een taal Nederlands Afrikaans Albanees Amharisch Arabisch Armeens Azerbeidzjaans Baskisch Bengaals Birmaans Bosnisch Bulgaars Catalaans Cebuano Chichewa Chinees (traditioneel) Chinees (vereenvoudigd) Corsicaans Deens Duits Esperanto Ests Fins Frans Fries Galicisch Georgisch Grieks Gujarati Haïtiaans Creools Hausa Hawaïaans Hebreeuws Hindi Hmong Hongaars Iers Igbo IJslands Indonesisch Italiaans Japans Javaans Jiddisch Kannada Kazachs Khmer Kinyarwanda Kirgizisch Koerdisch Koreaans Kroatisch Lao Latijn Lets Litouws Luxemburgs Macedonisch Malagasi Malayalam Maleis Maltees Maori Marathi Mongools Nepalees Noors Odia (Oriya) Oeigoers Oekraïens Oezbeeks Pashto Perzisch Pools Portugees Punjabi Roemeens Russisch Samoaans Schots Keltisch Servisch Sesotho Shona Sindhi Sinhala Slovaaks Sloveens Soendanees Somalisch Spaans Swahili Tadzjieks Tagalog Tamil Tataars Telugu Thai Tsjechisch Turkmeens Turks Urdu Vietnamees Wels Wit-Russisch Xhosa Yoruba Zoeloe Zweeds Mogelijk gemaakt door
