Holiday Toy Drive

Spark of Love Holiday Toy Drive

Help Light the Spark for the Holidays

Each year, the Fire Departments of Ventura County and ABC7 team up to bring the Spark of Love Toy Drive to Ventura County. As the nation’s largest community toy drive, Spark of Love helps at-need Ventura County children and teens enjoy a happier holiday season.

The Spark of Love holiday toy drive by the fire departments of Ventura County provided toys for 13,675 children in 2025.
Those children received about 40,000 toys, stuffed animals, games and sporting goods items. 

The total number of children supported is equivalent to 68% of the children living in poverty in Ventura County.
 
All the fire departments thank everyone who donated, our toy collection partners and the public agencies and nonprofit organizations that helped deliver toys to children in need.
 

Local firefighters collect new, unwrapped toys and sports equipment for underserved children and teens in Ventura County. We are once again supporting Food Share. Dedicated to leading the fight against hunger in Ventura County, Food Share provides boxes of food to families served thru this year’s toy drive. Drop off non-perishable food and toys at any location. All donations stay within the community.

Toy Requests

The VCFD does not provide toys directly to individuals, and we encourage Ventura County residents to join forces with a participating organization in their community to request toys. Residents may also call 211 for information regarding toy drives and resources in their area.
