Plainfield, IL – Residents across Plainfield and surrounding Will County communities have just over a week left to donate to this year’s Toys for Tots holiday drive, with the Village announcing that contributions will be accepted at Village Hall through Thursday, December 12.
According to the Village of Plainfield, community members can drop off new, unwrapped toys during regular business hours to support children and families in need this holiday season. The program, run nationally by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, partners locally each year with municipalities, businesses, and volunteers to distribute gifts across northern Illinois.
Village officials said the collection effort helps ensure children throughout Will County receive holiday support during a time when many families face seasonal financial strain. Donations typically include board games, dolls, sports equipment, books, and other age-appropriate items for infants through teenagers.
Toys for Tots representatives note that community drives like Plainfield’s contribute significantly to meeting demand, especially as area nonprofits continue reporting higher requests for assistance this winter. All items gathered at Village Hall will remain within the region and be distributed ahead of Christmas.
Residents who plan to contribute are encouraged to drop off donations early to ensure timely sorting and delivery.
How to Donate:
• Location: Plainfield Village Hall
• Deadline: Thursday, December 12
• Accepting: New, unwrapped toys for ages 0–17
Community members can visit the Village’s website for updated hours or additional drop-off questions.
