The Jerry Woods Holiday Engine will be visiting several Maple Valley, Covington, and Kent neighborhoods Friday and Saturday evenings, December 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16, and neighborhoods in SeaTac and Tukwila Sunday and Monday, December 17 and 18. The engine will be collecting food, gifts, and monetary donations that will go to the local food banks for distribution.
Our annual holiday programs are in full swing! These programs would not be successful without the community’s support, and we thank everyone who has donated so far.
The Toys for Joy program collects new, unwrapped toys for children up to 12 years of age that are then collected, sorted, wrapped, and delivered to local food banks and outreach programs for distribution to families in need in the communities within Puget Sound Fire’s response area. In addition to toys, non-perishable food, and monetary donations (cash and checks) are also accepted and will go directly towards helping local families. Donations are being accepted at any one of Puget Sound Fire’s fire stations and participating businesses between November 21 – December 20..
Puget Sound Fire is hosting community toy sorting and wrapping events in Kent throughout December to prepare the gifts for delivery to local food banks. These events are open to the public, and due to their popularity, reservations are required.
