Donate Toys and Help Us Break the Stuff-a-Bus Record

For more than 20 years, the Spark of Love program has collected toys for needy kids with regional Stuff-a-Bus events. Last year, the generous people of Orange County stuffed a record-breaking 27 buses!

And this year, with your help, we’ll fill even more.

The campaign collects new, unwrapped toys and sporting equipment for children and teens in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, Ventura and Riverside counties. Toys collected in the respective counties are distributed locally.

Please join OCTA at the Stuff-a-Bus event on Dec. 18 at the Honda Center, 2695 E. Katella Ave. in Anaheim from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Donating is easy. Just bring your unwrapped present and we’ll help put it in one of the OC Buses that will be there to assist. And here’s a tip from the organizers: Teen and infant items are always in short supply, so if you’re wondering what to buy, considering everything from a pack of onesies to a cell phone case.
