The Naperville Park District’s Park Police invite the community to contribute new, unwrapped toys for the 2025 DuPage County Toys for Tots program, hosted by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. Toys will be collected at six different Naperville Park District locations and the WONC radio station on North Central College’s campus from Monday, Oct. 13 through Saturday, Dec. 13. In 2024, the Naperville Park District collected a total of 1,309 toys, 137 books, and 773 stocking stuffers.
“The Naperville community has been incredibly generous over the past 15 years of this campaign, and the Park Police are appreciative of everyone’s participation,” said chief Steve Schindlbeck. “With the holiday season at our doorstep, it’s not too early to begin donating toys to children in need in our area. Please help support this great initiative and make a child’s holiday memorable.”
