Durham Firefighters are a proud paticipant of the Seacoast Area Firefighters Toy Bank. A toy drive held each year during the holiday season, collection boxes are placed throughout the community for donations of unwrapped gifts for children age infant through 14. While this is the primary means in which toys are collected, friends of the toy drive have hosted holiday party toy drives, boot drives to collect cash for gift cards and other community based events. After firefighters gather items from businesses hosting collection boxes, donated gifts are distributed to families who may not be prepared to provide gifts for their young family members. New, unwrapped toys or other gift items can be dropped in any Toy Bank collection box in the seacoast area during the drive season, or delivered to the Durham Fire Station at 51 College Road anytime throughout the year. For more info on participating Fire Departments, visit www.toy-bank.com Durham collection boxes for the 2009 Holiday Season are at the following locations: Durham Town Hall, Ocean Bank (both Main St and Newmarket Rd), Durham Market Place, Durham Public Library and Jackson's Landing Ice Rink. If you would like to host a collection box at your business this year, or for the coming year, please call 862-4213 and ask for a Toy Bank representative.
