Our special community campaign collects new, unwrapped toys and sports equipment for children and teens in need in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, Ventura and Riverside counties. Over the past two and a half decades, the Spark of Love Toy Drive has successfully collected more than 11 million toys!
The Spark of Love toy drive will begin on Monday, November 11, 2024 on our digital platforms and on-air throughout the ABC7 newscasts. This year, we will host three Toy Collection Events starting Friday, December 6th, where our viewers and participants can drop-off their new, unwrapped toys or sports equipment.
