The city's fire halls are accepting donations of nonperishable food items for the Greater Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Food Bank. They are also accepting new, unwrapped toys for children, which will be distributed throughout the region by the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau (no stuffed animals, please). Items can be dropped off at any of Vancouver's 20 fire halls between 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. For the fire hall nearest you, see vancouver.ca/fire.
