Redmond Toy and Food Drive returns
The Redmond Toy and Food Drive will officially begin this Saturday with the Starlight Parade through downtown Redmond. This year’s drive will once again be hosted by Redmond Fire & Rescue and the Salvation Army.
Donations from organizations, businesses and individuals are used to provide toys, canned food, and a Christmas dinner for those in need during the holiday season.
Donations of unwrapped toys for ages 1 through 16, non-perishable food, or cash can be made at:
Redmond Fire & Rescue’s downtown station, 341 NW Dogwood Ave
Firefighters will be accepting donations at the following locations and dates:

Donation locations can also be found on our website at redmondfireandrescue.org
Cash donations will be used to purchase food and toys that are in short supply (please make checks payable to Salvation Army – Redmond Toy and Food Drive). One of our common unmet needs in the past has been gifts for the children ages 12 and up. Gift cards are a great idea of this age group. Donations should be made by December 19 th so that they can be processed.
The Toy & Food Drive has been helping families in the Redmond area since 1953. We would not be able to help those in need without the generous support of everyone in the Redmond community, so please donate generously and thank you for your help!
