NAFD Hosts Annual Holiday Toy Drive

All toys will be given to North Andover families - Matt Davis



Matt Davis and the North Andover Fire Department will be hosting their " Annual Toy Drive for North Andover Children."

Firefighter Matt Davis started this drive five years ago with a vision that every child would wake up Christmas morning with a toy.  No child should go without.

Matt works closing with the North Andover Youth Center, Woodridge Homes and a few other local groups that are resources for children in need. Last year's response to this campaign was fabulous and Davis hopes to keep the momentum going again this year.

Davis has stated all toys wll be given to North Andover families in need.   

The North Andover Merchants Association donated $150.00 of toys to Matt. All toys were purchased in town from our local merchants, Kids Karousel, Just Dance Wear & Boutique and sleds were donated by Main Street Hardware.  However, many more toys are needed.  Davis is reaching out to our community for donations.
