**********************************************************************************************************
For the past four years, Delta Zeta Omega, in partnership with local black-owned businesses and the San Francisco Black Firefighters Association, has organized a toy drive to benefit the San Francisco Firefighter's Toy Program. This program is the oldest and largest toy collection program in the city, distributing over 200,000 toys each year to more than 40,000 disadvantaged children throughout the year. We’ve raised over 200 toys annually to contribute to the program.
You can help us increase our impact this year by taking the time to donate a toy.
