Scottsdale Fire is now accepting unwrapped toys and gift cards through Dec. 20 at SFD fire stations and headquarters.

“These donations help make the holiday season a little brighter for many families. It is very much appreciated,” says Scottsdale Fire Chief Tom Shannon.

HonorHealth notches GOHS grant to provide infant car seats to those in need

Donations are distributed to partner organizations who serve families in need. Annually, approximately 15,000 toys are collected through the toy drive, serving well over 1,000 families.

These agencies include:

Vista Del Camino
HonorHealth at Shea, Osborn and Thompson Peak
Family Promise
The Foster Alliance (Formerly Arizona Helping Hands)
Arizona Burn Foundation
Harvest Compassion Center

Donors are asked to consider gifts for children ages 7-12 and 13-18 years old, as these age groups are more challenging to find appropriate items. Gift cards are great alternatives to selecting something specific.
