City Fire Department Starts Toy Drive

The Santa Barbara Ciy Fire Department fired the opening salvo of its annual Christmas toy drive, and all fire stations will serve as drop-off centers for people wishing to donate toys. The toys will be distributed to families in need via the Unity Shoppe, and department officials ask that the toys be new and unwrapped. Toys can be donated between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
