The Noblesville Fire Department (NFD) is once again asking the community to help make the Christmas season brighter for local families through its annual Food and Toy Drive. Now celebrating its 49th year, the program will provide holiday assistance to approximately 100 families in Noblesville.
The program has a long-standing tradition of bringing the community together to help neighbors in need. The fire department has partnered with Meijer and Costco to help provide food and toys for participating families.
Donations of canned goods, non-perishable food items, and new, unwrapped toys are being accepted through Friday, Dec. 4. Donations can be dropped off at any Noblesville Fire Station or at Noblesville City Hall, located at 16 S. 10th St.

The Noblesville Mayor’s Youth Council will collect canned goods and non-perishable food items in support of the NFD drive during The Michael Treinen Foundation’s Turkey Trot at race packet pickup on Wednesday, Nov. 25, and race day on Thursday, Nov. 26.
The department also welcomes monetary donations, with checks preferred. Checks should be made payable to NFD Hamilton County Community Foundation.
Secure online donations can be made through the Central Indiana Community Foundation donor portal at cicf.org/giving/give-now/existing-fund.
When making an online donation, please enter “Noblesville Firefighters Fund” in the Fund Name section.
Deliveries to participating families are scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 12.
For nearly five decades, this program has depended on the generosity of Noblesville residents, businesses, and community organizations. Every donation, whether it is a toy, a bag of groceries, or a monetary contribution, helps make the holidays a little brighter for a local family.
“We are grateful for the continued generosity of our community and the many people who help make this program possible each year,” NFD Fire Chief Matt Mitchell said. “It is a great example of what makes Noblesville such a special place to live.”
