From City of Reading<\/p>\n

The Reading Fire Department will host its annual Toy Drive Breakfast on Friday, Dec. 19, at 7 a.m., at Trooper Thorns located at 451 Morgantown Road, Reading.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Toy Drive is held in memory of retired Reading firefighter Keith \u201cSarge\u201d Eschleman, whose dedication to the community and the holiday season continues to inspire this treasured tradition.<\/p>\n

Community members are invited to enjoy a free breakfast with the donation of a new, unwrapped toy. All toys collected will be distributed to the Salvation Army of Reading to support families in need this holiday season.<\/p>\n

In addition to toy donations, official Toy Drive shirts and hoodies are available for purchase, with 100% of proceeds used to purchase additional toys for local children. Merchandise can be purchased online at stores.weikelsportswear.com\/toydrive25\/shop\/home<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This event continues to bring together first responders, families, and neighbors to ensure every child in Reading feels the joy of the holidays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"From City of Reading The Reading Fire Department will host its annual Toy Drive Breakfast on Friday, Dec.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29903,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[128,130,129],"class_list":["post-29902","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-reading","tag-reading-city","tag-reading-city-headlines","tag-reading-city-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29902","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29902"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29902\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29903"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29902"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29902"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29902"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
