DuPage County, IL – Cantigny Park has kicked off its annual Toys for Tots holiday drive, encouraging visitors to donate new, unwrapped toys to brighten the season for local children. Donations will be accepted through Thursday, December 5, with collection boxes available at both the Visitors Center and parking booth.
According to Cantigny, guests who bring a toy (valued around $10 or more) will receive free parking as a thank-you for their generosity. From October 25 to November 18, parking will be free all day with a donation, while from November 19 through December 5, free parking will be offered until 3 p.m.
The park noted that gifts for children newborn through age 12 are most needed this year. Donations help support the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program, which distributes toys to families in need across the region.
Cantigny’s drive is one of several across DuPage County helping local organizations meet holiday demand. Community members are encouraged to drop off toys early to help ensure on-time delivery to families before Christmas.
