2025 Annual Toy Drive

We’re collecting toys for 200+ children within Glen Ellyn School Districts 41 and 89 this holiday season.

All toys will be distributed to children on our sponsored families list for the 2025 holiday season.

Toy Drive Details

The Glen Ellyn Junior Woman’s Club is excited to continue our tradition of giving through the annual Christmas Baskets Sponsor-A-Family Program. Last year, thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we provided food, clothing, toiletries, toys, and gifts to 170 families and seniors in need, reaching over 700 individuals right here in Glen Ellyn.

This year, we're collecting toys for over 220+ children (birth through 11) in Glen Ellyn School Districts 41 and 89. Your donations will ensure that every child on our sponsored families list receives a special gift this holiday season.

Spread Joy This Holiday Season!

All the sponsored families are local and live within the boundaries of the Glen Ellyn School Districts (D41 and D89 combined)

Your Kindness and Generosity Will Help

Please donate a new, unwrapped toy for a child (male, female, or non-gender specific) between the ages of birth through 11 years

Make a Difference To Those Who Are

We greatly need and appreciate donations of books, crafts, Lego sets, and other items suitable for older children (ages 9-11). Gifts for this age group—both boys and girls—are often the least donated.
