Chula Vista Police Foundation’s Holiday Toy Drive and Community Event
Every December, the Chula Vista Police Foundation and the Chula Vista Police Department bring holiday joy to South Bay families in need. This year, they are preparing to make the season extra special, and the community is invited to get involved and make a difference. The annual event on December 16 promises to be a heartwarming celebration of giving. Over 500 local families identified as needing assistance will receive a meal voucher for a full holiday feast, complete with sides. This generous gift ensures that families can gather over a warm meal during a time that can be difficult for many.
Adding to the festive spirit, Santa Claus will make a grand entrance on his sleigh to deliver toys to children aged 12 and under. These gifts are made possible through the generosity of local businesses, individuals, and community partners committed to spreading holiday cheer. Even the Grinch will make an appearance, adding some fun to the festivities!
The event has become a beloved community tradition, drawing a fantastic turnout each year. It is attended by local business representatives, community leaders, and athletes, all uniting to support a worthy cause. Attendees will also have the chance to meet the Chula Vista Police Department’s command staff and community service officers. For the CVPD, this event is more than a celebration – it is a labor of love and a meaningful way to connect with the community.
Seven Mile Casino plays a special role by donating bicycles to be raffled off to families, adding extra excitement and joy to the occasion. Other local businesses are encouraged to join the effort and make a difference by contributing toys, providing services, or sponsoring special giveaways.
To help ensure every child receives a gift, toy collection bins will be placed throughout Chula Vista. Residents are encouraged to drop off unwrapped toys to fill these bins and spread holiday magic. Community members can also support the Police Foundation’s efforts by contributing or hosting their own toy drive. To get involved, visit www.chulavistapolicefoundation.org.
