There is one goal every year for the Holidays, and that's to make sure every child in the Rockford community has a great Christmas with presents to open and lots of fun.

The Annual Toy Drive Benefiting Children In The Rockford Area Community

I feel very lucky that my family and I were able to celebrate a great holiday each and every year. Especially, when there are people out there who can't afford Christmas presents for their kids. The goal every year is to make every child in our community have a great Christmas.

We need your help to make that happen. Please stop by and make a donation to help out this great cause. It's very impressive to walk into the showroom at Lou Bachrodt and see all the presents under the tree. That puts a big smile on my face.

According to Lou Bachrodt Auto Mall...

Our 28th Annual “12 Hours of Salvation” Toy Drive is coming up and we’re once again teaming up with the Salvation Army of Winnebago County to help kids right here in the Stateline area have a magical Christmas morning.

 

Every toy counts as we aim to bring in more donations than ever before, and your generosity will bring joy to a child who might otherwise go without this holiday season.

 

Then, mark your calendar for Friday, December 5th from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. when we’ll be collecting all donations and celebrating 12 hours of pure holiday spirit!
