In 2025, ChiGivesBack proudly surpassed a significant milestone, having donated over 30,000 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.
