The Ripon Consolidated Fire District and the McManis Family Vineyard are working collaboration on the 14th annual Toy Drive.

“We are joining forces to bring joy to the pediatric patients at UC Davis and Sutter Memorial Pediatric Units,” said the local fire district via social media.

The goal here is to collect new and unwrapped toys for children and teenagers up to age 17 during the holiday season.

The Toy Drive will run from now through Dec. 14.

Donations can be dropped off at the following locations:

·        Ripon Fire Station No. 1, administration office, 142 S. Stockton Ave., Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The toy bin is located in the front lobby.

·        Ripon Christian Preschool, 839 W. Main St.

·        McManis Family Vineyards, 18700 E. River Rd.

“Every single toy can make a significant difference and bring a smile to the faces of these brave young patients,” said the Ripon Consolidated Fire District.
