Spark of Love Kicks Off Season
Glendale Firefighters will be joining ABC7 for the 21st annual Spark of Love Toy Drive. This campaign collects new, unwrapped toys and sports equipment for the underserved children in our community. Toys collected in Glendale fire stations are locally distributed. Last year, Spark of Love collected close to 500,000 toys within the five participating counties.

The public can support the Spark of Love campaign by bringing a new, unwrapped toy to a local Glendale fire station through Dec. 24 or by attending one of several events held across Los Angeles County.
