We’re gearing up for our 24th annual “12 Hours of Salvation” toy drive to benefit kids right here in the state line area. It’s our mission to make sure every child has a gift to open come Christmas Day with the Salvation Army of Winnebago County! We know you have A LOT going on, especially this time of year, but we’re hoping you have a little left to give.
You can make a difference for these families in need with your donation of a new, unwrapped toy. Shop early and drop it off here at Lou Bachrodt Auto Mall anytime between now and Dec. 3rd. You can even buy online and ship it straight to us at 7070 Cherryvale N. Blvd in Rockford. OR text TOYSHOP 51555 to donate. Every bit counts as we aim to bring in more toys than ever before! Your donation is sure to put a smile on a child’s face that otherwise might not have a gift to unwrap this Holiday season.
Hoping to sponsor a very specific Christmas wish for a child? Explore our Virtual Angel Tree HERE. Select by age or gender and see what items are on their list!
If you or a family you know is struggling to make ends meet and it seems impossible to make Christmas happen think again. It’s easy to REGISTER for assistance here in the Greater Rockford area.
Don’t forget to mark your calendar for Friday, December 3rd. Join us from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. as we gather all your donations and share in a lot of holiday spirit. The giant tree surrounded with thousands of toys is certainly a sight to see PLUS Rockford’s Country Q98.5, 96.7 the Eagle, and 97 ZOK will be here for fun as 13 WREX broadcasts live. Help us spread the word! Challenge your friends, neighbors, or co-workers to team up and shop for those in need. Follow us on Facebook for event updates as we track the donations from our generous community. You’ve never let us down Rockford and we know you’re up to the task!
