Maricopa Fire/Medical Department, with backup from the volunteers of CERT, hosted its seventh annual Ride for Toys on Saturday at Copper Sky. They collected new toys in exchange for a ride in a fire truck. Kids also met some special guests. The toys go to F.O.R. Maricopa food bank for its Christmas program. Over the years, more than 500 toys have been collected by Ride for Toys. A raffle also helped MFMD provide a cash donation to the organization as well.
