Every year, tens of thousands of children experience Christmas morning with no gifts to open. To bring smiles to these children's faces, the Moreno Valley Fire Department, in cooperation with CAL FIRE/Riverside County Fire and KABC Channel 7, hosts a "Spark of Love Toy Drive." Residents who wish to be part of this special event are encouraged to drop off a new, unwrapped toy or sports equipment at any local fire station to support this worthwhile cause. With your support, children throughout Moreno Valley will receive a new toy this holiday season. On Dec. 5 and 6, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Moreno Valley Fire Department will be kicking off the "Spark of Love Toy Drive" event with "Stuff the Truck" at WalMart, located at 12721 Moreno Beach Dr. Donations will be accepted in an attempt to fill the truck at WalMart and will also be accepted at any of the city's seven fire stations through Dec. 24: Fire Station #2 24935 Hemlock Avenue Fire Station #6 22250 Eucalyptus Avenue Fire Station #48 10511 Village Road Fire Station #58 28040 Eucalyptus Avenue Fire Station #65 15111 Indian Avenue Fire Station #91 16110 Lasselle Street Fire Station #99 13400 Morrison Street For families in need that would benefit from the toy drive, Moreno Valley Community Assistance Program (CAP) will be conducting sign-ups on Nov. 21 at 10 a.m. at Palm Plaza, located at 24594 Sunnymead Blvd., Suite W.
