The U.S. Marine Corps 2021 Toys for Tots Campaign has begun, and the Police Department is a DuPage County donation drop-off site. Now through 12 noon on Friday, December 10, new unwrapped toys in original packaging may be dropped off at the Police Department for children between the ages of newborn and 12-years old. Donations will be accepted during regular business hours (M - F, between 8a and 7p - closed on City holidays).
Monetary donations may be made online through the Marine Corps Toys for Tots secure website or by using the QR code provided below. When making a monetary donation, please enter IL-Warrenville as “Your Local Campaign Designation.” Monetary donations will be used to purchase toys for children within DuPage County when shortages occur. The Police Department will not be able to accept monetary donations.
All toys collected will be distributed to DuPage County children in need. Questions regarding this campaign may be directed to Community Service Officer Perry at 630-393-2131.
