FIREFIGHTERS TOY PROGRAM

Imagine your child waking up on Christmas morning to an empty tree—no gifts to open, no toys to play with. For many families in the Lexington area, it’s a heartbreaking reality—but it doesn’t have to be. The Lexington Fraternal Order of Firefighters (Lexington FOF) and Paul Miller Ford are teaming up once again to help provide toys to needy Lexington families this holiday season. 

Now in its 86^th year, the Firefighters Toy Drive is a Lexington tradition, bringing our community together to make the holidays more joyful for local families. You can drop off new, unwrapped toys at any pickup location (including in the Paul Miller Ford showroom!) during the nine weeks of the drive; at the conclusion of the drive, needy families can “shop” the mountain of donated toys at no cost to them. 

For the past three years, Paul Miller Ford has provided a Ford Transit that serves as the drive’s official toy pick-up vehicle, collecting donations from locations around town and bringing them back to the drive’s North Pole for distribution. This year, we’ve adding another way to get toys into the right hands: the option to donate online. This page makes it even easier to give back during a hectic holiday season.

Donating is easy: just click the SHOP NOW button, browse the selection of requested toys, and purchase the toys you’d like to donate. (You’ll receive an email confirmation with a tax receipt after you complete your purchase.) At the end of the drive, all purchased toys will be shipped directly to Paul Miller Ford for pickup by the Lexington FOF and distribution to families around Central Kentucky.

Thanks for helping make the holidays more joyful for local kids this year!
