The McHenry Area Rotary organizes and facilitates toy deliveries to families in need during the Christmas season. Please note that the deadline to sign up for assistance is Tuesday, December 3rd, at 6:00 PM.
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, and we may also need to limit the number of gifts for children aged 10 to 12. Sorry we are unable to grant specific requests.
If you can help us help these families by donating money or your time along with tape and wrapping paper, please click Donate. If you live in McHenry County and need assistance, click Get Help above.
Thanks to the following Rotary Secret Santa Partners. Without your support and help we would not be able to provide this great program.
