Lake Geneva, WI – The Lake Geneva Police Department’s Community Outreach Committee is teaming up with the Wilderness Episcopal Church’s “Christmas for the Kids” program to help families across Walworth County this holiday season.
According to the department, the program—now in its 19th year—collects new household items, winter clothing, and food to support families receiving assistance through the Walworth County Department of Health and Human Services.
Donations of gas and store gift cards, socks, mittens, pajamas, books, board games, and household supplies are especially needed. Winter boots and shoes for all ages are also in high demand.
The police department is also seeking nonperishable food items to fill holiday meal baskets, including canned fruits and vegetables, pasta, potatoes, rice, peanut butter, jelly, stuffing, pancake mix, syrup, cereal, and dessert mixes. Grocery store gift cards are encouraged to help provide perishable items and meat for the meals.
A donation bin is available in the lobby of the Lake Geneva Police Department for drop-offs. All items should be new and unwrapped. The deadline to donate is Tuesday, November 18, 2025.
Community members are encouraged to contribute and help ensure every local family enjoys a warm, festive holiday season.
