Your help is greatly appreciated.

Our annual Holiday Gift Drive was a huge success!

Thanks to the generosity of 84 donors, we provided gifts or gift cards this holiday season to more than 500 children and teens served by JCFS Chicago, including their siblings. Additionally, as part of Project Winter Warmth, we distributed 583 vouchers so families could purchase coats and other winter clothing.

More than 40 volunteers - including JCFS staff, community partners, board members, family and friends - helped sort and match hundreds of donated toys and books to make sure every child received something from their wish list. 

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.
