ANKENY, Iowa (Nov. 18, 2009) - The Ankeny Fire Department is asking for your help to fill an ambulance with toys again this year to ensure that every child in Ankeny can experience the excitement and joy of Christmas. Toys collected will benefit the U.S. Marine Corps ‘Toys for Tots’ campaign.
 Both Ankeny fire station locations are official drop locations for the ‘Toys for Tots’ campaign. Ankeny Fire Headquarters is located at 120 NW Ash Drive and the newly opened Fire Station #2 is located at 665 SE Oralabor Road. Items can be dropped off Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. beginning November 23 through December 21. Those wishing to participate are asked to donate only unwrapped new toys.
To top off this year’s campaign, the department will also have its annual “Fill the Ambulance With Toys” Day on Saturday, December 19 from 4-7 p.m. at the Fire Headquarters.
“The people of Ankeny have always been very generous with their time and dollars and filling an ambulance with toys offers them a unique and fun way to continue that tradition,” said Deputy Chief Frank Prowant.
