Annual Holiday Toy Drive
During the holidays, Big Hearts of Fox Valley collects and distributes toys for D303 children. Last year, we were able to provide toys to 650 children from low-income families. Since 2014, we have been able to collect over 10,000 dolls, trucks, books, board games, sports equipment, and gift certificates.
This toy drive is part of the Big Hearts of Fox Valley’s Annual Christmas Sponosrship Program, a charity drive designed to collect toys and other items from wish lists for area families in need of assistance during the holidays. All collected toys will be given to local families. Make a difference in someone’s life by donating a new unopened toy, it’s the perfect way to get in the holiday spirit.
