29th Annual Toy Drive
The 29th Annual “12 Hours of Salvation” Toy Drive returns to Lou Bachrodt Auto Mall on Friday, December 4, 2026, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. We’re teaming up with The Salvation Army of Winnebago County to help make sure every child in the Stateline has a gift to open on Christmas morning.
Bring a toy, ship a gift, or give online.
🎁 Drop off a new, unwrapped toy at Lou Bachrodt Auto Mall anytime between now and Friday, December 4, or shop online and ship your gift directly to us.
