We are a children’s non-profit located in the south suburbs of Chicago.

PLEASE SEE OUR TV INTERVIEWS AT BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE TO SEE WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO!

Our primary goal is to touch the life of a child through the gift of a toy / book.  There is a world of children that need toys /books, with your help we can change that.  Toy Box Connection will be the connection between families and businesses who have new or used toys / books to donate - then we will directly connect those toys/books to the children that need them the most.
