The holiday season is a time for helping one another, and Seattle Fire invites you to be part of that tradition at our annual Toys for Tots collection events.
On Saturday, Dec. 5, 2026, firefighters will be collecting new, unused and unwrapped toys, books, games and other gifts at four Seattle fire stations. All donated items will support the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program, benefiting children and teens throughout Seattle and King County.
Every year, our community helps make the holidays brighter for local families. Donations support children ranging in age from newborn to 17 years old, and gifts for infants and teenagers are especially appreciated.
Drop off a gift
Bring your donation to one of the participating Seattle fire stations starting at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 5, 2026:
- Greenwood – Fire Station 21 (7304 Greenwood Ave. N)
- West Seattle – Fire Station 29 (2139 Ferry Ave. SW)
- Hawthorne Hills – Fire Station 38 (4004 NE 55th St.)
- Magnolia – Fire Station 41 (2416 34th Ave. W)
In addition to dropping off a gift, stop by to meet your neighborhood firefighters, say hello and snap a photo with a fire engine. We look forward to seeing you and celebrating the spirit of giving together.
