Ronald McDonald House collecting stuffed toys on Saturday

San Diego County will be part of a group of 95 local faith congregations and community partners in a multi-county “drive-thru” Stuffed Animal Drive on Saturday to benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego. Fourteen locations in San Diego County will take part at various drop-off times, most starting at 9 a.m.

The toy drive is looking for donations of new 10-inch to 12-inch stuffed animals. The stuffed animals are one way the Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego comforts families with sick children.

Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego provides a “home-away-from-home” for families with children who are being treated for serious, often life-threatening conditions at local hospitals. The house, at 2929 Children’s Way, San Diego, relies on community support. JustServe.org is being used to promote this multi-county event; visit https://bit.ly/3jmJDNr.
