Here are some Spark of Love facts: The Ventura Chamber of Commerce has teamed up with Spark of Love for decades to bring toys to kids of Ventura County. All toys donated to Spark of Love stay in Ventura County. Greatest needs are for ages 0-3 & 13 and up. For teens, Gifts cards in $20-$25 denominations are preferred (to anywhere – stores, restaurants, etc.) To date, the request for assistance is for more than 25,000 children through 47 nonprofits, agencies and civic organizations, with another 1,000 on the waitlist. This is the first year we are working with the Farmworkers Resource Program and have committed to assisting 5,000 children. Last year was the first year we served teens 13-18 through the campaign, gifting over 1,600 youth.
We will pick up your toys when you fill up your box, or you can bring them to our toy drive event on December 10 at Pacific View Mall in front of Red Robin from 7:30-9AM. We will have Ventura City and County Fire Departments with us, giveaways and a chance to win fun prizes when you bring us your toys! More details on the event coming soon
