Get ready to fill the fire truck with holiday cheer at our first-ever Fill the Fire Truck Toy Drive!  

In partnership with the Watsonville Firefighters Association, we’re collecting new toys for kids and gift cards for teens (ages 13–18) for the Salvation Army Angel Tree Program. More than 350 families are already signed up to receive donations, with many more on the waitlist.  

Bring a donation on Saturday, December 13, from 10AM to 1PM at Fire Station 1, 115 2nd Street, and enjoy hot chocolate, cider, and snacks, plus take a photo with our Firefighters and even meet Santa! 

Donations can also be dropped off at our donation bins at Fire Administration, 372 Airport Boulevard, and Fire Station 2, right next door.
