7th Annual Chicagoland Toy Drive

Nominations for the 2023 Chicagoland Toy Drive are closed. Stay tuned for announcements this Fall.

In 2023, ChiGivesBack proudly surpassed a significant milestone, having donated over 25,000 toys to-date to children who may not have otherwise received gifts during the holiday season. This accomplishment was made possible with the incredible support of our community, contributing over 6,000 volunteer hours to ensure the success of our toy drive.

Our past sponsors include Mesirow Financial, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and The Godfrey Hotel - Chicago, Uber, Jewel-Osco, American Express, Constellation Brands, Lettuce Entertain You, Tesla, Walmart, Target, Discover-Mastercard, Chicago Bulls and the Chicago Bears. The Chicagoland Toy Drive has distributed toys to local community organizations, homeless shelters and civic groups.
