For the last 15 years the Daytona Beach Fire Department has partnered with the Early Learning Coalition to collect toys for underprivileged children for the community of Volusia County. This year has been an extremely difficult one for countless families in the community due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It is due to this that it is an honor to announce another great success. The amount of toys collected this year is enough to provide Christmas presents for children to approximately 800 families, which is a record breaking number.
