Daily Herald report

The West Chicago Police Department is again participating in the Toys for Tots Program.

Sponsored by the DuPage County U.S. Marines, the program is designed to send a message of hope to children who are less fortunate by giving them a new toy at Christmas. New unwrapped toys may be left in a decorated box in the front lobby of the police station at 325 Spencer St.

The toys will be picked by Dec. 19 and taken to a local warehouse to be sorted and distributed throughout DuPage County.

Police will continue to collect toys for a short period of time after Christmas for last-minute requests that could not be filled before the holiday.

For more information, call officer Mike Zepeda at (630) 293-2222 or write mzepeda@westchicago.org.

Anyone wishing to be put on a list to receive toys must go to www.toysfortots.org website, navigate to the Request Toys tab and then click DuPage County.
