Holiday Food and Toy Drive

Mayor's Holiday Food, Book and Toy Drive

Help ensure every Evanston family can celebrate this holiday season. From November 3 to December 1, we're collecting new, unwrapped toys in addition to staple food items for holiday meals, including stuffing, green beans, yams, mac and cheese, corn, and cornbread mix. We're also collecting new and gently used children's books. We are also accepting checks and credit card donations through the Evanston Parks Foundation.
