The Noblesville Fire Department (NFD) is seeking assistance from the community to ensure local families have a joyous holiday season. NFD is currently accepting donations for its annual food and toy drive to benefit approximately 100 less fortunate families in Noblesville.

2023 marks the 46th anniversary since the program started. NFD has partnered with Kroger for food needs and Meijer for toys.

NFD is accepting canned goods, non-perishable food items, and new, unwrapped toys now through Friday, Dec. 8. 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. 16.

NFD is also accepting monetary donations (checks are preferred – made payable to the NFD Hamilton County Community Foundation). Secure online donations may be made through the Central Indiana Community Foundation donor portal at cicf.org/giving/give-now/existing-fund. If making an online donation, please type in “Noblesville Firefighters Fund” under the Fund Name section.

The Noblesville Firefighters Food and Toy Drive has been fortunate for the support of many great partners in the past 45 years. Many thanks go to all citizens, businesses, and organizations who have selflessly donated.

NFD is committed to continuing to help brighten the holiday season for those in need this year, and all donations will be appreciated, said Noblesville Fire Chief Matt Mitchell.
