Kids & Family

Bring the magic of Christmas to local families in need ...

Because we believe that every child deserve a toy on Christmas.

Glen Ellyn Junior Woman’s Club is once again preparing for our annual Christmas Family Adoption Program aka ‘Christmas Baskets.’ We invite you to participate this year through our Christmas Toy Drive.

The toys that you donate will be distributed to all the children on our adopted families list for the 2018 Holiday season. Over 300 children in all! All the recipient families are local and live within the boundaries of our Glen Ellyn School Districts (D41 and D89 combined).

If you would like to participate, please donate a new, UNWRAPPED toy for a child (male, female or family-oriented) between the ages of birth through 11 years. Items suited for the 6 through 10 age range (both male and female) as well as the toddler age range are especially needed.
