To help area families in need have a happier holiday season, the Escalon Consolidated Fire Protection District is once again hosting a Christmas Toy Drive, with 18 different drop off locations available. Distribution of the collected items will be done just before Christmas. Sign up for the Escalon Fire Christmas Toy Drive will be on Saturday, Dec. 10 from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. “This will be two hours only, one day only,” Battalion Chief Terry Pinheiro said of the sign-ups, which will be done at the firehouse on Coley Avenue.
