It’s the season of giving!

ABC 7 and Southern California firefighters are presenting their 27th anniversary of the Spark of Love Toy Drive. Boxes are located all around Southern California where you are able to drop off a toy for someone in need and distributed locally.

All you have to do…

Start your journey by purchasing a new unwrapped toy or sports equipment, find the closest drop off location to you, drop your toy off, and share a photo on Instagram by tagging #SparkOfLove!
