Your help is greatly appreciated.

Our annual Holiday Gift Drive was a huge success!

Thanks to the generosity of 90 donors, including 11 partner organizations, we provided gifts this holiday season to 437 children served by JCFS Chicago, including their siblings. Additionally, as part of Project Winter Warmth, we distributed more than 500 vouchers so families could purchase coats and other winter clothing. More than 50 volunteers, including JCFS staff, community partners, board members, family and friends helped sort through the hundreds of donated toys and books to make sure children received something on their wish lists.

Donations Accepted Throughout the Year:

We accept NEW toys, clothing, and household items and are most in need of the following:

  • Art supplies – play-doh, watercolor paint and paper, construction paper and markers
  • Dolls with a variety of ethnicities
  • Science themed/educational games
  • Gift cards: Target, Amazon, Walmart, Starbucks, etc. with the dollar amount clearly noted on the card.

We regret that we are unable to accept donations of furniture, computers, used clothing and used toys. Our needs change often, so please contact us ahead of time.
