Annual Toy Drive is underway in Menlo Park and Atherton

The Menlo Park Firefighters Association and St Anthony’s Church and Padua Dining Room work together each holiday season to provide toys to underprivileged families in San Mateo County — helping make their season a little brighter.
Before COVID, this program served nearly 1,200 children every year. Since 2020, that number has dropped to around 800 — not because there’s less need, but because there are fewer toy donations. How you can help:
Drop your toy off at St. Anthony’s Church, 3500 Middlefield Rd, Menlo Park or at any Menlo Park Fire Station by December 13.
