“Spark of Love ” is a toy drive and distribution initiative that includes a number of related holiday events benefiting foster youth and caregivers. The 18 year-old initiative is managed by a Planning Committee comprised of ABC’s Channel 7, Children’s Trust Fund, representatives from the Los Angeles County Fire Department, and Metrolink.

Within Los Angeles County, these efforts are also supported by volunteers, representatives from the Board of Supervisors and various employees from the Department of Children and Family Services. Approximately 35,000 toys are collected and then distributed to the community each year through the work of ABC7, the Children’s Trust Fund, and Los Angeles County Fire Department. This year’s goal is 40,000 toys.
