Team up with Firefighters this Holiday Season.

This winter, the Riverside Fire Department is teaming up with local partners including ABC7 to provide gifts for underserved families throughout the Riverside area. You can join us by participating in our annual Spark of Love Toy Drive or consider donating to our “Shop with a Firefighter” Program!

Donate Today

The City of Riverside Fire Department will join ABC7 and firefighters throughout Southern California in the “Spark of Love” Toy Drive from November 10 to December 12, 2025. The campaign collects any new, unwrapped toys, sports equipment, blankets and gift cards for underserved children and teens (0-17 yrs. old) in the Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, Ventura and Riverside counties. Over the past three decades the Spark of Love Toy Drive has successfully collected more than nine million toys.
