We are excited to announce our participation in the Denton County First Responder Toy Drive this year. This initiative is a collaborative effort between the Fire and Police Departments of Lewisville, Flower Mound, Lake Cities, and Highland Village, in partnership with 5 Star Ford in Lewisville. Our goal is to collect toys for the LISD Angel Tree program.

Toy collection boxes have been placed in the foyer of all stations and in the lobby of the Tittle McFadden Public Safety Center. We will be collecting toys until Thursday, December 4th.

We will be sharing more information on social media, but please note that we are asking for new, unwrapped toys for children aged 1-18. All donations will go to the LISD Angel Tree program.
