North Riverside, IL – The North Riverside Police Department has kicked off its annual Toys for Tots Toy Drive, inviting residents to help bring holiday cheer to local children in need. The campaign runs from November 1 through December 10, with donations accepted around the clock at 2359 S. Desplaines Avenue.
According to the Village of North Riverside, community members can drop off new, unwrapped toys 24 hours a day in the department’s lobby. The drive supports the national Toys for Tots program, which distributes holiday gifts to families experiencing financial hardship.
The department emphasized that every contribution, big or small, helps brighten the season for children across the area. “Your generosity helps make the season brighter for families in our community,” officials said in a statement.
Residents are encouraged to donate early to ensure all gifts reach local families in time for the holidays. Popular donation items include board games, dolls, action figures, art supplies, and other age-appropriate toys.
The North Riverside Police Department has participated in the annual drive for several years, with strong support from residents and local businesses alike.
