New Lenox, IL – Families across Will County have just under two weeks left to contribute to this year’s Toys for Tots drive, with the New Lenox Fire District announcing it will accept donations through Tuesday, December 10.
According to the New Lenox Fire District, residents can drop off new, unwrapped toys at any of the department’s four fire stations during regular hours. The annual campaign supports local children and teens across the region who may otherwise go without gifts during the holiday season.
Donation bins are available at the following locations:
• Station 1: 261 E. Maple Street
• Station 2: 1205 N. Cedar Road
• Station 3: 930 Country Creek Drive
• Station 4: 19819 Schoolhouse Road
Officials say the drive typically sees its highest volume of donations in the final week, and community members are encouraged to give early to ensure items can be sorted and delivered to families ahead of Christmas.
Toys for Tots—run nationally by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve—focuses on providing holiday support to children from infancy through age 14. The program accepts items such as board games, dolls, sports equipment, art kits, stuffed animals and other new toys. Donors are asked to avoid wrapping gifts before drop-off.
Local officials emphasize that every item donated in New Lenox stays within the region, helping Will County families directly.
Residents who want to participate but are unable to visit a station can find additional drop-off details and alternative donation options on the Toys for Tots website.
