Lake Geneva, WI – The Lake Geneva Police Department is making a final call for donations to its annual “Christmas for the Kids” program, with the collection drive ending Tuesday, November 18.
According to the department, the long-running initiative—now in its 19th year—helps families throughout Walworth County receiving assistance from the county’s Department of Health and Human Services. The community outreach effort, coordinated through the Wilderness Episcopal Church in Elkhorn, provides local children and parents with essentials and holiday support each season.
Donations may include new, unwrapped items such as warm clothing, winter boots, household goods, and toys, along with food for holiday meal baskets. The department notes high-need items include canned goods, boxed stuffing, rice, pancake mix, peanut butter, and coffee. Gift cards—especially for groceries, gas, or general use—are also encouraged.
Residents can drop off donations in the lobby of the Lake Geneva Police Department through the end of the day Tuesday.
Community members are encouraged to give what they can to help local families enjoy a brighter and warmer holiday season.
“Every item helps,” the department posted Monday. “Let’s make sure every family feels the warmth of our community this Christmas.”
