IC Catholic Prep Students Make A Special Christmas Delivery

The IC Catholic Prep (ICCP) National Honor Society led their annual toy drive between Thanksgiving and Christmas break in hopes of bringing Christmas joy to some families in need this holiday season. On Thursday, December 14th, NHS members loaded up cars with boxes of goodies after school and personally delivered over 200 toys to the Toy Express main facility located in Willowbrook.

Donation baskets were placed in classrooms and students were asked to bring in new, unwrapped toys. NHS leaders also collected cash to be used to purchase even more toys for the ICCP donation. In addition, during lunch periods, the popular Candy Cane Grams were sold which students could purchase and have delivered with a personalized message. Overall, over $270 was collected and donated to Toy Express to purchase even more much needed gifts.

Founded in 1990, it is the goal and tradition of Toy Express to distribute toys and clothing to thousands of underprivileged children in the Western Suburbs each year. Families in need are able to come to the “store” in Willowbrook and select the toys that they wish to give to their children. For more information on Toy Express, please visit www.toyexpress.org.
