Toys for Tickets program collects 134 toys for children in the community
Stuffed animals, race cars, action figures and more were among the collection of toys the City’s Parking Enforcement team picked up on Friday, marking another successful haul for the annual Toys for Tickets program.
This year’s Toys for Tickets campaign resulted in 134 toys donated, representing $3129.61 in parking fines waived by the City.
“Every year, we are blown away by the generosity of all those who participate in Toys for Tickets, many of whom donate toys of greater value than their ticket,” says Dan Hazell, Supervisor of Enforcement Services. "Thank you once again for trading your ticket for a toy that will make the holidays a little brighter for a child in our community.”
Since the Toys for Tickets program began in 2005, over 4,000 toys have been donated in lieu of parking fines. This year’s collection was donated to the Salvation Army Toy Mountain campaign, a toy drive that helps make the holidays special for families in need.
