Hundreds of families from Bensenville are a little warmer and had gifts to put under the tree this holiday season after the Village of Bensenville's 45th Annual Toy Drive and Rotary Coat Drive. Over 500 toys and 300 coats were distributed this holiday season.

Toy, coat, and food donations were collected throughout November and December at several community locations. The village also collects non-perishable food items that are donated to the Bensenville/Wood Dale Food Pantry.

"I would like to thank everyone who donated or volunteered to help make this year's toy, coat, and food drive such a wonderful success," said Village President Frank Soto. "Bensenville is a tight knit community full of great people, businesses, and service organizations who really care about one another and work together to help those in need."

The Village also receives many donations from local businesses and civic organizations. A special thanks to some of the largest contributors:

ABC Bank, Agility Logistics, Bensenville Chamber of Commerce, Bensenville Senior Citizen Club, Century Metal Spinning, Fenton Student Council, Hair Shapers, Jewel-Osco, Purolator, Roesch Ford, Teamster Horsemen Motorcycle Association, Just In Time Staffing
