Bensenville launches 56th annual Toy Drive to support local families

The village of Bensenville will be accepting donations for its 56th annual toy drive through Thanksgiving.

Help make the 2026 holiday season even brighter for families in need. Donation boxes will be placed throughout town, including at village hall, the police department, Edge Ice Rink, Bensenville Community Public Library, and Bensenville District 2 schools, making it easy to donate new, unwrapped toys. Musical instruments, sports equipment, building and crafting toys are among the most requested gifts.

The goal is to help ensure Bensenville families in need have an opportunity to provide their children with toys this holiday season. Monetary donations for purchasing toys are also welcomed and can be made online at bensenvillefoundation.org.
