The “Spark of Love” toy drive is underway throughout the Southland, and there are many places in Santa Monica to donate to those in need.

Local drop-off sites include Santa Monica Fire Department stations nos. 1, 2, 3 and 5; the Santa Monica Red Cross; City Hall; the Public Safety Building; Albertson’s stores; CVS drug stores; and many hotels, including the Fairmont-Miramar, Doubletree and Shangri-La.
