KSBY has teamed up with local food banks, toy agencies, fire departments, and sponsors to put together the largest community-wide food and toy drive on the Central Coast.
You can help make this holiday season brighter for those in need by joining us for the 15th annual Season of Hope from October 12 to December 11.
A special donation event is set to take place at Santa Maria Fire Station 1 (314 W. Cook) on Wednesday, Oct. 14, from 4 to 6 p.m., where we will be collecting donations of new, unwrapped toys and non-perishable food items.

This campaign is a KSBY News initiative in collaboration with the Scripps Howard Fund, a 501(c)(3) organization. Contributions to this campaign will be used to support the Central Coast area and are tax-deductible.
All food, toy, and financial contributions will remain on the Central Coast.
