Join us this holiday season in bringing joy to our community while strengthening belonging and well-being among children and families. This year's gift drive will benefit hundreds of children in the Jewish and broader communities supported by JCFS Chicago.

Thank you to everyone who is sponsoring a child's wish and/or volunteering their time for Holiday Gift Drive this year! We have reached capacity at this time but there are still several ways you and/or your club, organization, or synagogue can help:

Gift Collection 

Hold a gift drive at your workplace, club, synagogue and/or condo building for new, unwrapped gifts.

  • Gift cards are also welcomed (in amounts of $10, $25, and $50) and greatly appreciated as they allow our youth and families to get exactly what they want, as well as alleviate logistical issues.
  • New, unwrapped gifts can be delivered by Tuesday, December 3rd to JCFS Seigle Building, 5140 Golf Road, Skokie, Monday – Thursday from 9am-5pm and/or Friday 9am-4pm.
  •  JCFS will arrange pickup for collections of 50 or more gifts. 

Make a Monetary Donation 

Your cash donation will be put to good use by our dedicated staff who will ensure each child receives a gift. 

Please drop off UNWRAPPED gifts by Tuesday, December 3rd

Seigle Building, 5140 Golf Road, Skokie
