The Kroc Center kicks off their ‘Christmas in July’ drive

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The Salvation Army Kroc Center in South Bend is kicking off their ‘Christmas in July’ drive on Saturday.

You can stop on by at 900 W. Western Avenue from July 10th to July 16th to drop-off new unopened toys at the barrels located at the center to start the gifting spirit a little early this year during their hours of operations.

The goal is to collect 5,000 toys to donate to kids in December and they also hope to collect $5,000 to use now in their food pantry which will supply families who apply for help. 

All you have to do is swing on by and drop off the unwrapped toys in the the light blue barrels located inside the center.

All donations are staying here across the St. Joseph County for families in need. 

They will have their red buckets that you can place your donations in or you can provide monetary donations online at www.mykroc.org/christmas-in-july.
