CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WCIA) — In Champaign, many parents are on the hunt for the perfect presents for their children. This holiday season, Toys for Tots has played a crucial role, assisting 12,000 families in bringing joy to approximately 28,000 children.

“I can’t imagine what we’d do without our collaboration with Toys for Tots,” expressed Melissa Sivels, Captain of the Champaign Salvation Army. “Their support enables us to reach a far greater number of children than we could manage alone.”
