From Monday, Nov. 9, through Friday, Dec. 11, new, unwrapped toys for youngsters ages newborn to 18 years can be dropped off at any Forsyth County fire station or at Fire Department headquarters, 3520 Settingdown Road, Cumming, according to a county announcement. “New or gently used” coats for children and adults also will be accepted.

In December, donations also can go to the Forsyth County Administration Building, 110 E. Main St., Cumming. For toy distribution information, call The Place of Forsyth County, 770-887-1098,

“The Fire Department is honored to continue a wonderful initiative that brings joy to children and families during such a special time of the year,” said Forsyth County Fire Division Chief Jason Shivers. Information: https://bit.ly/32glUpO
