Glen Ellyn Juniors Toy Drive: Help Bring Holiday Joy to Local Children in Need

As Thanksgiving weekend begins, the Juniors invite the community to share the spirit of the season with 220+ children in Districts 41 & 89.

As we head into Thanksgiving weekend, the Glen Ellyn Junior Woman’s Club is inviting the community to help spread a little extra joy to more than 220 local children through our Annual Toy Drive, part of the long-standing Christmas Baskets Sponsor-A-Family Program.

Many of the families we serve live right here in Glen Ellyn School Districts 41 and 89, and the holidays can be especially challenging for them. A single donated toy can bring comfort, excitement, and a sense of holiday magic to a child who truly needs it.

This season is already busy for everyone, so we’ve made it easy for anyone who wants to give back in a simple, meaningful way.
