Let’s remember that there are many children in Illinois who will not get a Christmas gift if they soley depended upon their parents. Please ensure that you do a small part by adding a toy to your local shelter, church or Toys For Tots collection box. You may never see the face of the child who opens the gift you give, but you need to know that your simple act helps renew the hope and love within that little boy or girl. These kids hang on to the hope that your gift gives them as they face challenges no child should be forced to face.

Let’s give them a Merry Christmas!
