About SAN FRANCISCO FIRE FIGHTERS TOY PROGRAM

The San Francisco Fire Fighters Toy Program is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) charity sponsored by the San Francisco Fire Fighters Local 798 and staffed by active and retired San Francisco firefighters and volunteers. Founded in 1949, it is one of the nation’s longest-running firefighter toy programs and operates year-round to collect and distribute new toys to disadvantaged children, families displaced by fires, shelters, schools, and pediatric care units. The program accepts donations at San Francisco firehouses, partners with local businesses and community groups, and coordinates large seasonal distributions each December while responding throughout the year to immediate needs arising from fires and other disasters. Recent tax filings (fiscal year ending March 2024) show the organization operating at a multi-million dollar revenue scale while maintaining program distribution activities across the city.
