VALLEY FORD VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT

FIRST ANNUAL

TOY DRIVE

Thank you everyone who donated toys. This was a huge success and a very rewarding experience. Special thanks to Kevin Marks and the Petaluma Fire Department for their generous donation of toys, they added SO much to the joy we saw in these childrens eyes.

Big THANK YOU to Roz at the Valley Ford Post Office for collecting the toys.

The children were waiting for us when we got there. Their eyes lit up just like Christmas when they saw the firetruck all loaded down with toys,

coming down the road with lights flashing.

(and a little siren, thanks Matt)

"Elves" Kayla and Joey handed out stuffed toys, candy canes, fire hats and "mooses" donated by the women of the Petaluma Moose Lodge. (Thank You ladies)

Each child received a stocking filled with goodies and "Santa's" Dale and Matt handed out

5 to 6 gifts to each child, ages ranged 1 to 13. Valley Ford Volunteer Fire Department donated a smoke detector to each family.

We will definitely be doing this again next year, and hope to get a lot more people involved and be able to help even MORE families.
