The County of Simcoe Paramedic Services Food and Toy Drive is back for its 22nd year.
The annual event helps support individuals and families in need across Simcoe County during the holidays.
Paramedics will be accepting new, unwrapped toys, non-perishable food items, and gift cards at multiple locations across the area.
In the last 21 years the Food and Toy Drive has collected over 122,000 toys, more than 66,000 lbs of food, and close to $270,000 in monetary and gift card donations for families in need across the county.
There are 19 different donation locations, including the Alliston, Angus, Beeton and Innisfil Paramedic Stations.
Volunteers will also be collecting donations during area Santa Claus Parades and various pop-up locations.
