COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Despite the generous donations to the Columbus Division of Fire’s Firefighters 4 Kids Toy Drive at NBC 4 (WCMH-TV) Studios Saturday, Dec. 13, the toy warehouse is almost bare.
With nearly 4,000 registered families yet to be served by Dec. 24, Mike Mullins, retired firefighter and co-founder of the toy drive, said they are nearly depleted of gifts for 9- to 12-year-old boys and girls.
To meet this critical need, the Columbus Division of Fire asked Central Ohioans to donate items now through Thursday, Dec. 24, at any Franklin County fire station.
The list of suggested gifts for 9- to 12-year-old boys and girls includes age-appropriate board and electronic games, audio and video electronics, sports equipment, age-appropriate music CDs and movie DVDs, jewelry, perfume, body lotions and gift cards.
Monetary donations can be mailed to:
CME Federal Credit Union
Attn: Firefighters 4 Kids Toy Drive
365 S. Fourth Street
Columbus, Ohio 43215
Firefighters 4 Kids Toys Drive with NBC 4 is sponsored by CME Federal Credit Union, Truberry Group, Walmart, 95.5 The Hawk and 104.9 The River.
