The Noblesville Fire Department is seeking assistance from the community to ensure local families have a joyous holiday season. The fire department is currently accepting donations for its annual food and toy drive to benefit 110 less-fortunate families in Noblesville.
2019 marks the 42nd anniversary since the program started. The fire department has partnered with Kroger for food needs and Meijer for toys.
The fire department is accepting canned goods, non-perishable food items, monetary donations (checks are preferred – made payable to the NFD Hamilton County Community Foundation), and new, unwrapped toys through Friday, Dec. 6. Donations may be dropped off at any of the Noblesville Fire Stations or at Noblesville City Hall, 16 S. 10th St. Deliveries to the families will take place on Saturday, Dec. 14.
“For four decades, the Noblesville Fire Department has had the honor of delivering food and toys on behalf of the generous citizens and businesses of Noblesville, who willingly donate to this great cause,” said Noblesville Fire Chief Greg Wyant. “Without your generosity, many families and children would go without during the holiday season. The gratitude displayed by the recipients of these gifts is impossible to describe.”
The fire department currently has plenty of stuffed animals but are in need of toys and gifts for tweens (ages 10 to 12). Monetary donations also are down at this point from previous years. For more information, contact the Noblesville Fire Department at (317) 776-6336.
