Help Give Kids a Merry Christmas at Your Joliet IHOP

JOLIET, IL — Although it should be year round, the season of giving is now upon us. And with that spirit comes numerous toy drives with a mission to give kids a merry Christmas.

You can help that mission by bringing new, unwrapped toys to participating IHOP locations throughout the area through Dec. 13, according to ABC 7, which is helping with the drive. The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve will then distribute those toys to less fortunate children in the community.

The toys will go to infants up to 13 year olds. Toys desired are books, board games, puzzles, action figures, arts and crafts, blocks and legos, musical toys, electronics, stuffed animals and infant toys.

The Joliet IHOP is located at 1444 N. Larkin Ave. See the full list of locations below and for more information go to windycitylive.com.
