November 4, 2025 — Baldwin County Fire Rescue announced the start of its 15th annual toy drive, continuing a long-standing effort to provide Christmas gifts for families in need across the community. Last year, the program supplied presents to more than 400 children in Baldwin County.

Donation boxes will be placed at local businesses beginning November 10, with collections scheduled for December 10. Community members may also drop off new, unwrapped toys at any county fire station through December 20. Monetary donations to help purchase additional gifts are welcome and may be mailed by check, payable to Baldwin County Fire Rescue, to 312 Allen Memorial Drive, Milledgeville, GA 31024.

Fire officials said the success of the toy drive depends on the generosity of residents and businesses, noting that each contribution helps brighten the holidays for children and their families.
