Woodstock, IL – A local dinner event this Thursday aims to bring more than full stomachs — it hopes to fill children’s hearts with holiday joy.

According to the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, the Burger Night fundraiser will take place Thursday, October 23, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Woodstock Moose Lodge 1329. All proceeds will benefit the McHenry County Police Charities’ Shop With a Cop program, which helps local children facing loss, hardship, or financial struggle experience a magical Christmas.

Each participating child is paired with a local officer for a morning of shopping, breakfast, and fun — riding in a squad car, choosing gifts, and sharing laughter during the holiday season. The annual event is made possible through community donations and fundraisers like Burger Night.

The sheriff’s office encouraged residents to come hungry and generous. “Every burger served this Thursday does more than fill a plate — it helps fill a child’s Christmas with joy,” the department shared in a Facebook post.

The event is open to the public, and all proceeds directly support McHenry County children through the Shop With a Cop initiative.
