Thank you to all that volunteered, participated, and donated to make this another successful toy drive!

The Redlands Airport Association (RAA) would like to thank all that supported our “Stuff a Plane! Charity Toy Drive” this year. We concluded our “Stuff a Plane! Charity Toy Drive” at Redlands Municipal Airport on Saturday, December 6th. To help bring the community out to donate toys, we served up a pancake breakfast in the morning and a BBQ lunch in the afternoon. We had three flight simulators in the lobby for kids to experience controlling an aircraft. CAP Cadet Squadron 411, Learn to Fly LLC, GAS PPS, Mission Flight Academy, San Bernardino Valley College Aeronautics, and the Salvation Army were all present with displays. Santa arrived in an airplane, visited with the kids, and handed out candy canes. The RAA also hosted a LifeStream blood drive for those that wished to donate. There were aircraft on display for our guests to view including some military aircraft.

Members of The Salvation Army San Bernardino Corps were on hand to witness all the wonderful toys being delivered and displayed in front of a North American T-28B aircraft. At the end of the day, we filled their box truck with toys. Cash donations were also given to The Salvation Army of approximately $2000. All of these donations will support The Salvation Army San Bernardino Corps efforts to help those in need in our area to have a Merry Christmas. On December 19th, the toys, a food box, and a turkey or ham will be distributed by The Salvation Army to families that have registered.

Thank you to all the businesses and organizations that donated or hosted a collection box.

With your help, we collected a huge number of toys this year for The Salvation Army San Bernardino Corps. Here is a link to photos of most of our collection box sponsors: 2025 Stuff a Plane Collection Box Sponsors

We hope to do this again next year. Perhaps you will consider sponsoring a collection box once again. 

Please support these community-minded businesses and organizations.

Happy Holidays!
