La Grange, IL – Families in La Grange have a festive reason to head out tonight as the La Grange Police Department hosts a holiday Toy Drive with the Grinch, running from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at police headquarters.
According to the La Grange Police Department, the event invites community members to stop by, meet the Grinch, and donate new, unwrapped toys to support local children in need. All donations collected will benefit the Children’s Advocacy Center, which provides services and resources to children and families across the area.
The toy drive is taking place Tuesday evening, December 16, at the La Grange Police Department, 304 W. Burlington Ave., located in Cook County in suburban Chicago’s western suburbs. Organizers say toys for children ages 3 to 17 are especially needed.
Police officials shared the invitation on social media earlier Tuesday, encouraging residents to participate if they are able. The event is designed to be family-friendly and welcoming, offering a chance for kids to enjoy a holiday moment while supporting a meaningful local cause.
Community toy drives have become a seasonal tradition for many police departments, helping ensure holiday gifts reach children who may otherwise go without. The Children’s Advocacy Center relies heavily on donations and community partnerships to continue its work throughout the year.
Residents who live nearby are encouraged to stop in during the two-hour window, even if just briefly, to contribute a toy or take part in the holiday atmosphere.
