182 Places to Donate Toys For Tots in Kane County
The village of Montgomery sent a press release recently, saying Toys for Tots drop-off boxes are now available at the Montgomery Village Hall and Police Department. Anyone wishing to contribute new, unwrapped gifts (toys, games, sports equipment, children’s books) may drop them off from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Dec. 12.
Toys for Tots is a program coordinated by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve that provides toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them Christmas gifts. The local group reported that they have been assigned 500 more names of children in need than they had last year, so donations are urgently needed.
We went onto the Toys For Tots website and found that there are more than 180 Toys for Tots drop off locations throughout Kane County.
The website covers information for all of Kane County, including but not limited to: Algonquin, Allens Corners, Aurora, Barrington Hills, Bartlett, Batavia, Big Rock, Blackberry, Burlington, Campton Hills, Carpentersville, Dundee, East Dundee, Elburn, Elgin, Geneva, Gilberts, Hampshire, Hoffman Estates, Huntley, Kaneville, LaFox, Lilly Lake, Maple Park, Montgomery, Mooseheart, North Aurora, Rutland, St. Charles, Sleepy Hollow, South Elgin, Starks, Sugar Grove, Virgil, Wasco, Wayne, West Dundee, Woodland Hills.
As a suggestion, Kane County coordinator Patrick Kackert says, “We are always in need of toys for girls/boys 18 months and younger and girls/boys ages 10 to 14.”
The full list is below, and it includes the Kane County Veterans Assistance Commission, 719 S. Batavia Ave. Room 104, Geneva.
