Firefighters seek toy donations to brighten children's holiday The Oakville Professional Firefighters Association (OPFFA) is looking to make every local child's Christmas with its annual toy drive. For 12 years, the OPFFA Toy Drive has helped collect and distribute toy donations to local families in need. "There are families in need living in Oakville and there are children living in group homes or institutional care without the support of a family ," said Kurt Merriman, OPFFA Toy Drive chair. Last year's toy drive collected and distributed more than 1,400 gifts to more than 1,100 children. "We distribute gifts directly to families and also to local non-profit organizations who work directly with children and families in need in Oakville and Halton Region," Merriman said. The 2013 toy drive will kick off on Nov. 16 at the Oakville Santa Claus Parade, which begins at 9 a.m. at the corner of Lakeshore Road East and Reynolds Street. Donations of new, unwrapped toys can be brought to the parade and will be collected by local firefighters -- donations can also be dropped off at any Oakville fire station until Dec. 18. The OPFFA is especially in need of toys for infants and young adolescents between ages 12-16. Gift cards for all major retailers are also welcomed.
