Give a gift that could change a young life and let the spirit of giving touch your heart at the Firefighters 4 Kids Toy Drive! This year it’s more important than ever to give—whatever amount you can. Our elves, dressed as Columbus firefighters and NBC 4 anchors and reporters, are suiting up to help Santa bring a brighter holiday season to Central Ohio children in need.

Join the Columbus Division of Fire and NBC 4, with sponsors CME Federal Credit Union, 95.5 The Hawk, and 104.9 The River and donate new, unwrapped toys or make a cash or check donation at our annual Firefighters 4 Kids Toy Drive.

If you aren’t able to join us on the drive on December 12, you can also drop off toys at any Franklin County fire station through December 24.

THANK YOU TO OUR 2009 SPONSORS: CME Federal Credit Union, Truberry Group, 95.5 The Hawk and 104.9 The River.
