France Bleu Provence, a supportive and committed radio station throughout the year, is mobilizing on Saturday 11 December for the big comeback of its emblematic and traditional collection of toys for the most disadvantaged families: “La Fontaine aux Toys”.
The Toy Fountain: No Christmas without toys
Initiated more than 30 years ago by France Bleu Provence, our large solidarity fundraiser is making, at the end of 2021, its big comeback to support the families who need it most and allow children to have a magical Christmas. . Associations are counting on your generosity : thousands of toys will be donated so that each child is entitled to a gift. More than ever, the Toy Fountain is essential in these difficult times.
Meet at ten collection points on Saturday December 11 from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.

What toys to put down?
This is a request from associations: thank you for expressing your generosity by making donation of NEW toys (or in VERY VERY good condition). Why ? Too many damaged games, incomplete puzzles, or disheveled soft toys have been collected in previous years, making sorting and cleaning difficult for volunteers.
