Elmhurst, IL – The Elmhurst Fire Department has teamed up with Toys for Tots to host a citywide holiday toy drive, collecting new, unwrapped gifts for children of all ages through December 11.
According to the department, donations can be dropped off at Fire Station #1 (404 N. York Street), Fire Station #2 (601 S. York Street), or Elmhurst City Hall (209 N. York Street). This year, Santa has “traded in his sleigh for a fire truck” as crews prepare to deliver the donated toys to families in need across the community.
The department encourages residents to contribute early, helping ensure every local child experiences a joyful holiday season. The Toys for Tots program, operated by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, distributes millions of toys annually to children across the country.
Residents with questions about the collection can contact the Elmhurst Fire Department at 630-530-3090 for more details on how to participate or to arrange larger donations.
