Help Us Reach Our Goal of 2,000 Toys!
Each year, ChicagoCAC staff and volunteers come together to deliver holiday cheer to children and families impacted by abuse. Thanks to your generosity, over 600 kids and teens of all ages receive 2,000 toys, games, and gifts every year!
Now through December 8, you can help make this holiday season special for every child we serve by donating gifts. Here’s how you can help:Â
Bring your community, company, or organization together to make a difference by donating in-kind! To coordinate your own toy drive collection, please email Events Manager Julianna Joyce at events@chicagocac.org
Please note: all gifts must be dropped off at 1240 S. Damen Ave. no later than December 8.
Your donation helps us purchase gifts for children of all ages and provides snacks, stocking stuffers, and wrapping paper for our drive. Every dollar helps create a festive holiday experience for children and families.
Volunteer With Us!
We need your help to make our Holiday Toy Drive a success! We are looking for volunteers who can support with greeting and check-in, shopping assistance, child care, check-out, and more.
