This year, Metro Transit partnered with the St. Louis Blues on a toy drive to benefit Fire Truck O’Toys, a local nonprofit that delivers toys to St. Louis area children’s hospitals.

To participate, bring a new, unwrapped toy to the special Blues-themed MetroBus, which will be located on the north end of the Civic Center across from the Enterprise Center on the December 5th and 9th Blues game nights. Donations will be accepted two hours before each game and 30 minutes after the puck drops.

Those who donate will receive a free Metro Adventure Pass, a one-day pass good for unlimited rides on MetroLink and MetroBus, and will be entered for a chance to win autographed items from St. Louis Blues, including a puck, jersey and hockey stick.

Donations will also be accepted at the MetroStore, located at the corner of 8th and Pine Streets in downtown St. Louis through Friday, December 7th.
