Our story

The Firefighter’s Holiday Toy Drive is a not for profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to assisting underprivileged or in need children of Mohave County and surrounding areas. It is the mission of the organization to ensure that no child should be without a gift to open on Christmas morning.

It was founded in 1983 by the Bullhead City Fire Department and the Bullhead Professional Firefighters Association to meet the needs of the local community. The program was started by a handful of firefighters who saw a need in their local community and banded together to purchase, wrap and hand-deliver toys in the Fire Truck on Christmas eve. There was a rumor that Santa even rode along, but that has never been confirmed.

As Bullhead City continued to grow and more and more family's where identified each year, the program was forced to grow to meet the rising demand. It was then incorporated into the Bullhead Firefighters Charity’s, a 501(c)3 organization, that allowed the program to partner with local businesses to collect toys and donations to purchase the toys needed each year.

With the growing success of the program, requests for assistance from outside of Bullhead City began to pour in from other parts of the region. To serve this larger geographical area, in 2010, the Bullhead Firefighters Holiday Toy Drive was created to allow us to help children outside the Bullhead City Area. This was accomplished by partnering with Fire Department’s and other civic organizations located in Mohave County, Clark County, and San Bernardino County and assisting their already existing or struggling programs with donated toys and funds.
