For 47 years, the Firefighters 4 Kids program has been a beacon of hope for families in the Columbus region, ensuring children have gifts to unwrap during the holiday season. Established in 1977 after a Columbus firefighter responded to a home with young children who had nothing for Christmas, the program continues to make a meaningful impact for hundreds of families every holiday.

This year, the Upper Arlington Fire Division is proud to support Firefighters 4 Kids by hosting a toy drive on Saturday, December 14, from 9 am-3 pm at Fire Station 72, located at 3861 Reed Road. Community members are encouraged to donate new, unwrapped toys, which will be distributed to children ages 0-12.

In addition to Upper Arlington, several other donation events are happening on Saturday, December 14:
