Lexington Firefighters Kick Off 96th Annual Toy Program

Officials aim to reach about 3,000 children through donations with required parent registration.

Overview

The Lexington Fire Department and the Fraternal Order of Firefighters launched the drive on Nov. 3, with Mayor Linda Gorton presenting the first gift.
Parent registration begins Monday, Nov. 10 at 2319 Woodhill Drive in Lexington, with Spanish-language registration on Nov. 11.
A Chuck Williams silent auction on Dec. 7 will help fund the effort ahead of the holiday distribution.
The giveaway is set for Dec. 20 at the Woodhill Drive site, where toys are organized by ages 0–12 so parents can choose suitable gifts.
Donations are accepted at all 24 city firehouses in blue bins, and organizers note the number of children served can fluctuate with local needs.
