The goal of a Holiday Toy Drive at Awesome Toys & Gifts on Nov. 16 and 23 is to fill a Stepney Volunteer Fire truck with toys for families enrolled in the town's Giving Tree program.

MONROE, Conn. — The Stepney Volunteer Fire Department, the Save Our Stepney Task Force and Awesome Toys & Gifts are teaming up for a Holiday Toy Drive.
