Area residents woke up bright and early and brought loads of toys for the cause. The event drew residents of all ages from across the Southland.
In addition to opening up their parking lot for Stuff-A-Bus, Mathis Brothers donated a truck full of new toys to give to the children.
As an additional treat for all toy donors, Farmer Boys is offering a hamburger on the house if you bring a toy to any one of their participating locations.

For 19 years, ABC7 and firefighters from Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura counties, along with the Los Angeles City Fire Department, have joined forces to run the Spark of Love Toy Drive. This campaign collects new, unwrapped toys and sports equipment for the under served children in our communities.
Toys collected in the respective counties are distributed locally. Last year alone, Spark of Love collected over 500,000 toys within all five counties and we want to top that total this year, so please help the firefighter's ignite a spark of love in a child's heart.
