The CAL FIRE / San Luis Obispo County Firefighters Benevolent Association in cooperation
with KSBY’s Season of Hope, is holding its 31st annual OPERATION SANTA CLAUS toy
drive. This is an annual toy drive providing toys to kids who are under the care and protection
of SLO County’s Child Welfare Services. OPERATION SANTA CLAUS is a non-profit
program that has helped over 10,000 children throughout San Luis Obispo County since 1990.
OPERATION SANTA CLAUS 2021 began October 11, 2021 and continues through
December 17, 2021. Residents and local businesses are encouraged to contribute toys, gifts or
funds. The funds will be used to purchase needed items. Donations can be dropped off at any
CAL FIRE / San Luis Obispo County Fire Department fire station and Morro Bay Fire
Department. Firefighters request the gifts be new and unwrapped for proper identification and
distribution. The public is urged to make donations as soon as possible to assist Child Welfare
Services with distribution before Christmas
