The holidays always bring a sense of togetherness, and we’re glad to join in again this year. Our Evanston branch at 1705 Sherman Ave is helping with the Mayor’s Annual Food, Book & Toy Drive, a community effort that shares warmth and care with families who could use a little extra support this season.
If you’d like to help, stop by during business hours and drop off new or gently used books, unwrapped toys, or non-perishable food items. Even a few small things can make a big difference when they come from the heart.
Back in 2024, this citywide drive reached hundreds of Evanston families—about 450 in total—thanks to neighbors who showed incredible generosity. We’re proud to take part again and see that kindness continue to grow.
Whether it’s a storybook, a favorite snack to share, or a small toy that makes a child smile, every donation matters. Come by when you can and help make the holidays a little brighter for someone close to home.
