Dear Pasadena Fire Department Supporter,
In the heart of every great city lies a spirit that cannot be broken—and Pasadena is no exception. Through economic challenges, natural disasters, and uncertain times, our community has proven again and again that adversity only strengthens our resolve.
What makes Pasadena truly remarkable is its compassion: neighbors helping neighbors, strangers becoming friends, and joy shared through simple acts of kindness.
With that same spirit of hope and generosity, we’re excited to announce the 2025 Spark of Love Toy Drive!
EVERY. TOY. COUNTS.
The Pasadena Fire Department knows our success depends on our community partners and supporters. Your kindness makes a real difference, and we thank you in advance for helping us brighten the holidays for local children and families.
