Beverly Hills residents can drop off new, unwrapped toys at four local spots beginning Monday, Nov. 9, as part of the ABC7 Spark of Love toy drive.
All three Beverly Hills Fire Department stations are collecting donations. The Beverly Wilshire, a Four Seasons Hotel, is also accepting toys for Toys for Tots at 9500 Wilshire Blvd.
The fire station addresses are:
- Station 1: 445 N. Rexford Dr.
- Station 2: 1100 Coldwater Canyon Dr.
- Station 3: 180 S. Doheny Dr.
All donations must be unwrapped.
The overall Spark of Love campaign runs Nov. 9 through Friday, Dec. 25, according to ABC7. The campaign page lists specific drop-off hours for some participating departments but does not list hours for the Beverly Hills stations or the Beverly Wilshire.
Now in its 34th year, Spark of Love is a partnership among ABC7 Los Angeles, Subaru, Southern California firefighters and the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve's Toys for Tots program. The campaign has collected more than 11 million toys over its history, according to ABC7.
Residents who prefer to give online can donate through the Toys for Tots website. Donations are also accepted at any Los Angeles County fire station and at local Subaru retailers across Southern California.
Disney is contributing as well. As part of its Make the Holidays Magic campaign, the company is sending 10,000 toys to Los Angeles through Toys for Tots, ABC7 reported.
