Sparky's Toy Drive is officially underway.
The Windsor Professional Firefighters Association is collecting toys and monetary donations for children ages 0-13.
Windsor families in nwws can register during one of three in-person registration events starting this weekend. Locations and times can be found on the Sparky's Toy Drive website.
"There's different people going through different struggles, and every year the City of Windsor and the Windsor Firefighters Benefit Fund are there to meet that challenge," said Co-Coordinator Cody Long. "Last year, we had approximately 2,900 children that we supported, and that was across about 1,200 families."
Donations can be dropped off at any local fire station during business hours.
Long said they always need gifts that can be enjoyed by the whole family particularly sports equipment and board games.
"As firefighters, we promote fitness, and we have tremendous parks all over the City of Windsor, and we know any family, of any age, of any gender or any background, can utilize sports balls. It promotes fitness, family inclusiveness and playing with friends," said Long.
