Many families in McHenry County are facing significant hardships due to unexpected job loss, the death of a primary wage earner, divorce or abandonment, illness, disability, or other crises. As a result, children in these families may not have the opportunity to experience the joy of receiving a gift to unwrap on Christmas. Last year, we helped over 1,800 children enjoy a brighter holiday season.

This program is available to families in McHenry County who need assistance with toys for their children this Christmas. Due to high demand and limited resources, we must prioritize families who are unable to provide toys and have children aged newborn to 12 years living in their household. Unfortunately, we cannot assist children over the age of 12.
