Elmhurst, IL – The Elmhurst Police Department is helping make the holidays brighter for local children by collecting donations for the annual Toys for Tots campaign.
According to a department post Friday, residents can drop off new, unwrapped toys at the police station’s front lobby, located at 125 E. 1st Street. Donations will be accepted through Thursday, December 12, and will be distributed to children in need across the community this holiday season.
The national Toys for Tots program, organized by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, aims to ensure that every child experiences the joy of opening a gift during the holidays. Elmhurst police officials said community participation plays a key role in supporting families who may otherwise struggle to afford presents this year.
Residents are encouraged to bring age-appropriate toys for all age groups. The department’s collection box is available during regular lobby hours.
Community members can follow updates from Elmhurst Police on social media for reminders and progress reports as the collection deadline approaches.
