More than 1,300 toys collected in last year’s drive
Last year, the group collected 1,309 toys, 137 books, and 773 stocking stuffers for the program, which is hosted by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve.
“The Naperville community has been incredibly generous over the past 15 years of this campaign, and the Park Police are appreciative of everyone’s participation,” said Chief Steve Schindlbeck in a news release. “With the holiday season at our doorstep, it’s not too early to begin donating toys to children in need in our area. Please help support this great initiative and make a child’s holiday memorable.”
Stuffed animals and toy weapons are not accepted. Monetary donations may be given online.
