Holiday Food and Toy Drive Begins

The 22nd Annual West Hollywood Food and Toy Drive has started and donations will be accepted through Dec. 24. 

The City of West Hollywood, in conjunction with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, organizes the event and hopes to assist more than 900 families. 

The goal is to provide those families with a holiday meal and two toys for every child. The city collaborates with area school guidance counselors, teachers and principals to identify families in need of assistance. 

• Cost to help one family — $65
• Cost to help three families — $165
• New unwrapped toys are needed, as well as monetary donations, clothing and store coupons

All donations can be brought to the cashier’s window at West Hollywood City Hall, 8300 Santa Monica Blvd.

For more information, please call Bonnie Smith or Kristin Cook in the city’s Public Safety Division at (323) 848-6371. For the deaf and hard of hearing, please call (323) 848-6496.
