For the 11th straight year, the American Red Cross of Santa Monica will be collecting toys to distribute to local needy families in time for the holidays.
Once again partnering with the Santa Monica Fire Department and KABC, the Red Cross will assist those who have been hard hit financially and might not otherwise receive any gifts. To participate, drop off a new, unwrapped toy at the Red Cross’ Santa Monica chapter at 1450 11th St. or of the any of the Santa Monica Fire stations between now and Dec. 24. For the location of additional collection sites, call the Red Cross of Santa Monica at (310) 394-3773.
