Miami-Dade Transit hosts 2014 Toy Drive

No child should be left without a toy this holiday season

(MIAMI, December 4, 2014) - Miami-Dade Transit's annual toy drive provides transit passengers an opportunity to bring happiness and hope this holiday season to our community’s neediest children.

By donating a new, unwrapped toy valued at $5 or more at the seven listed Metrorail stations, we can all ensure that children in Miami-Dade County receive a holiday gift this season.

On Thursday, December 11th and Friday, December 12th, please bring a new, unwrapped toy to any of the following seven Metrorail stations:

• Okeechobee
• Earlington Heights
• Civic Center
• Government Center
• Douglas Road
• South Miami
• Dadeland North

“Every child should be able to experience the magic of the holiday season,” said Miami-Dade Transit Director Ysela Llort. “That’s why we are asking for the community’s help again this year, so together we can provide presents to children who need them the most.”
