Murphy Firefighters pitch in with drive-thru toy drive

Murphy’s Central Fire Station, 206 North Murphy Road, will become toy central for several hours during the evening of Monday, December 13 as Fire Rescue team members will be collecting new, unwrapped toys for the young clients of the Children’s Advocacy Center of Collin County, according to Fire Chief Mark Lee.
“We are extremely happy to partner with the Murphy Chamber of Commerce on this annual program, and because the Fire House is easy to find, easy to drive in and out of, and full of people eager to help, we’re more than honored to be part of this,” he said. The mission of the Children's Advocacy Center of Collin County is to provide safety, healing and justice to children victimized by abuse or neglect.
Firefighters will begin accepting the toys from drivers and passengers at 5:30 p.m. and continue until 8 p.m.
Toys appropriate for toddlers through adolescents will be gratefully accepted during the drive thru toy drive. Toys should be unwrapped in order to determine a suitable recipient. The collected toys will be presented to representatives of the Advocacy Center at the Chamber luncheon set for Tuesday, December 14.
