Vernon Hills, IL – The Vernon Hills Police Department is once again partnering with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve to serve as a drop-off location for the annual Toys for Tots program, helping bring smiles and hope to children this holiday season.

According to the department’s announcement Monday, residents can drop off new, unwrapped toys at several convenient community sites:

  • Vernon Hills Police Department, 740 Lakeview Parkway – open 24 hours a day.
  • Vernon Hills Village Hall, 290 Evergreen Drive – open Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • Vernon Hills Public Works, 490 Greenleaf Drive – open Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The national Toys for Tots campaign, run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, collects and distributes toys to less fortunate children during the holidays. Each gift helps ensure that every child feels valued and included during the Christmas season.

Community members are encouraged to contribute early to ensure timely distribution to local families.
