The Battle Creek Fire Department has launched its annual toy drive in partnership with local organizations. The initiative aims to collect new, unwrapped toys for families in need, with all donations going to The Salvation Army.

Community members can contribute by dropping off toys at any of the city’s fire stations. Station 1 is open for donations daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., while Stations 2 through 6 accept donations from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The collection period runs through December 15.

“Together, we can make a difference for local families this holiday season,” the department stated.

The effort reflects an ongoing commitment by the Battle Creek Fire Department and its partners to support those facing hardship during the holidays.
