Join Culver City Firefighters, ABC7, Toys for Tots, Southern California firefighters, along with presenting sponsor Subaru, in celebrating the 30th year of the Spark of Love Toy Drive – the largest community toy drive in the nation.
This special community campaign collects new, unwrapped toys and sports equipment for children and teens in need in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, Ventura and Riverside counties. Over the past two and a half decades, the Spark of Love Toy Drive has successfully collected more than nine million toys! Due to the effects of the pandemic and devastating wildfires, our community partners anticipate this year's requests for toys will reach higher than ever.
The Spark of Love Toy Drive launched on Monday, November 14, 2022 on digital platforms and on-air throughout the ABC7 newscasts. It will run through December 24, 2022.
