2025 - Our 33rd Annual Toy Drive

​

The Oakville Professional Firefighters Association is proud to announce the start of our 33rd annual Holiday Toy Drive! 

 

Every year our firefighters collect toy donations throughout our community for local agencies that distribute them to children in need. Come out to some of our upcoming events, bring a toy or gift card to donate, and help ensure all the children in our community have a gift this holiday season! This year we've received specific requests for teenager and newborn gifts. Some gift ideas for these age groups: gift cards, diaper bags, winter clothing, newborn/infant clothing and shoes, art supplies, sports equipment, electronics, posters, calendars, journals, school supplies, backpacks, clothing (winter hats and gloves), jewelry, hair accessories, cosmetics, blankets, shower/hygiene products, movie passes.  Please ensure gifts are new and unwrapped.

Groups - Get Involved!

 

Community groups and corporations are encouraged to spread the holiday cheer by organizing their own toy drives or donations to support the Oakville Firefighters Toy Drive. This year we will be hosting some drop in sorting days. You and your co-workers can set your out of office messages, bring your donations to the downtown fire hall and help our volunteers sort and pack toy donations for a morning. We'll have coffee, treats, Christmas music, and some great picture opportunities. Thanks to McDonalds Oakville/Piper foods and Cobs Bread Lakeshore for ensuring the volunteers are hopped up on sugar and caffeine.

 

Sorting days are held at Fire Station 3 at 168 Kerr St between 8AM and 10:30AM.
