TMFR Announces Toy Drive to benefit Renown Children’s Hospital & Ronald McDonald House

(Reno, NV, Nov. 12, 2024) – Truckee Meadows Fire & Rescue (TMFR), International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) Local 2487, and the Truckee Meadows Firefighter Foundation are hosting a Toy Drive to benefit Renown Children’s Hospital and the Ronald McDonald House.

Beginning today through December 2, 2024, Residents can donate any new toy, still in original package at any TMFR Fire Station or the Fire District’s Headquarters at 3663 Barron Way between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Plush toys cannot be accepted.  And please consider providing gift cards for teen children, a group often overlooked during toy drives.

“I am grateful for the support and leadership of our firefighters and staff in serving our community and holding a toy drive for the children in our community,” said TMFR Fire Chief Charles Moore. “Please consider donating during the season of giving.”

“We are thrilled to be able to help our most vulnerable children experience a special Christmas and Holiday season,” said Firefighter/Paramedic Alex Doerr, President of Truckee Meadows Firefighter Foundation. “Please help us lift up the spirits of our children who require critical medical care during this time.”

Donated toys can be intended for any child from birth to 18 years of age. In lieu of toy donations, the Truckee Meadows Firefighter Foundation will accept monetary donation.
