ROCK SPRINGS – The Rock Springs Fire Department is again sponsoring the Toys for Kids program in Rock Springs. For decades the Rock Springs Firefighters have been collecting and sorting toys that are donated by the kind hearted citizens of our community so that all children are able to receive a Christmas gift.

Anyone who needs assistance in ensuring that their children get a Christmas gift is eligible to participate. In order to equally distribute the toys, you must sign up for the giveaway and schedule an appointment for the day of the giveaway.

Opportunities to sign-up for the giveaway will be at the Food Bank of Sweetwater County, 90 Center Street in Rock Springs, on Tuesday, November 25 and Thursday, December 11. The hours for the sign-up will be 10 a.m.  to 2:45 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. each date.

The Rock Springs Fire Department began accepting toy donations on November 9. New, or like new, toy donations may be dropped off at the Rock Springs Fire Department Headquarters station at 600 College Drive or at the Rock Springs Library at 400 “C” Street. Donations will be accepted at the fire stations until 7:00 pm on Friday, December 19, 2013.

The toy give away will be at the Rock Springs Fire Station Headquarters, 600 College Drive, on Saturday December 20. Please remember that an appointment is needed. Further information may be obtained by calling the Rock Springs Fire Department at 352-1475.
