Donate a Toy & Bring Them Joy

Skokie, December 2, 2014: The Skokie Caucus Party today announced today that its Holiday Toy Drive will run from now until December 12th. The drive will benefit the Niles Township Food Pantry and bring toys to children who may not get them otherwise this holiday season.

New, unwrapped toys, books, and games for children age 1-17 will be accepted at several collection sites throughout Skokie including Village Inn, Print Express, First Bank and Trust, Skokie Ace Hardware, and the Skokie Public Library. For more specific information on convenient drop off locations in Skokie visit http://SkokieCaucusParty.com/toydrive. “It’s always important to help those in need. This is an opportunity for our community to pull together to help make the holidays special for many disadvantaged children in our own neighborhoods.” said Sean Arden, Skokie Caucus Party, and committee chairman.

The Niles Township Pantry feeds those in our community who have limited resources to feed their families. The Pantry serves about 3,500 people every month, and more than 5,500 people during the holiday season. Because children are the most impacted by poverty, this toy drive compliments the Niles Township Pantry’s mission and will bring holiday spirit to less fortunate children in our community. For more information on the Niles Township Food Pantry and how you can help go to http://my.nilestownship.org/food-pantry or call the food pantry manager at 847-983-0073.

Please email SkokieToyDrive@gmail.com if you would like to arrange a courtesy pick up of your donation.
