Make a donation to ChildServ's Gift Drive

Waking up to presents under the tree on Christmas morning is not a reality for some children.

At ChildServ, through the generosity and kindness of our community, corporate, and faith partners, as well as individual donors, we bring the joy of the holidays to more than 2,000 children in our care.

Last year's drive brought in $70,000 worth of gifts that were delivered to children who are at risk throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.

The 2019 ChildServ Holiday Gift Drive runs now through Dec. 17. ChildServ is looking to make this a banner year, impacting the community in an even bigger way. You can help by purchasing a gift for a child in one of the ChildServ programs, donating a new, unwrapped toy, game or book for children of various ages or by making a monetary donation.

ChildServ is also looking for volunteers to help fill orders and wrap presents in the Toy Room at the O'Hare Lake Office Park, 2200 Devon Ave., Suite 340, Des Plaines.
