The Naperville Park District’s Park Police invites the community to contribute new, unwrapped toys for the 2024 DuPage County Toys for Tots program, hosted by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. Toys will be collected at six Naperville Park District locations now through Saturday, Dec. 14. The Naperville Park District collected a total of 1,769 toys in 2023 and was recognized as the largest donor in DuPage County from last year’s campaign.
“The Park Police are appreciative of the generosity of the Naperville community over the past 14 years of this campaign,” said Chief Steve Schindlbeck. “The holidays will be here before we know it, so it’s not too early to begin purchasing toys to help children in need in our area. Please help support this great initiative that helps children in our community.”
