The Noblesville Fire Department is preparing for its final week of collecting donations for this year’s Christmas Food and Toy Drive, which will take place on Saturday, Dec. 14.

“We are grateful to those that have already contributed. The community has responded as it does every year to ensure local families have a joyous holiday season,” NFD Assistant Chief Matt Mitchell said. “While we believe we have enough toys for the 110 less-fortunate families in Noblesville, we are in need of monetary donations, canned goods and food items.”

The fire department is accepting canned goods, non-perishable food items, monetary donations (checks are preferred – made payable to the Noblesville Fire Department Legacy Fund), and new, unwrapped toys through Monday, Dec. 10. Donations may be dropped off at any of the Noblesville Fire Stations or at Noblesville City Hall, 16 S. 10th St.

2019 marks the 42nd anniversary since the program started. The fire department has partnered with Kroger for food needs and Meijer for toys. For more information, contact the Noblesville Fire Department at (317) 776-6336.
