West Chicago, Illinois: December 2, 2014 - The West Chicago Police Department is once again participating in the Toys For Tots Program which is sponsored by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. New and unwrapped toys are being collected through December 23, 2014 at the West Chicago Police Station, located at 325 Spencer Street. Donated toys should be placed in the decorated box in the front lobby.

The gifts will be taken to a local warehouse where they will be sorted and distributed through DuPage County. The West Chicago Police Department will continue to take in toys after Christmas for a short period of time for those last minute requests that could not be filled before Christmas. Anyone wishing to be put on a list to receive toys must go to www.toysfortots.org and navigate to the Request Toys tab and then click DuPage County. The West Chicago Police Department does not determine who gets the toys and does not distribute them.

There are additional ways in which people can donate to this worthy program; by donating money online or by mail, donating a vehicle, donating proceeds from online auctions and more. For further information, please visit www.toysfortots.org.
