And the holiday magic didn't stop there for the Falcons.

Former running back Jerious Norwood and Freddy the Falcon joined Mattress Firm volunteers and the nonprofit Foster Care Support Foundation at the Target in Roswell.

There, they filled baskets of toys for foster children in Atlanta.

Mattress Firm volunteers said the company runs six drives a year to benefit children in need and not only for toys but also for things like school supplies and clothing.

Mattress Firm is accepting new and unwrapped toy donations at all of its locations now through Sunday, Dec. 16.
