Lexington’s Fraternal Order of Firefighters (FOF) is asking citizens to help make the holidays brighter for hundreds of Lexington kids by donating to the 88th Annual Firefighter Toy Program.
Last year’s Toy Program served more than 2,200 children and firefighters have set a goal to provide toys to at least as many children this year.
Donations from individuals, churches, community and civic groups, and local businesses keep the program running, and will be accepted at all Lexington fire stations. A variety of toys such as dolls, bikes, balls, action figures, games, etc. will be accepted for boys and girls ages infant to 12 years old. All toys should be new & unwrapped.
