Annual Gifts from the Heart Toy Drive Begins November 28
It’s time to make Christmas a little merrier for needy children in northwest Wisconsin: The St. Croix Chippewa of Wisconsin’s 19th annual Gifts from the Heart toy drive begins November 28. The drive runs from 8 a.m., Monday, November 28 through midnight, Friday, December 2.
Bring a new unwrapped toy or gift to any of the three St. Croix Casinos—St. Croix Casino Turtle Lake, St Croix Casino Danbury or St. Croix Casino Hertel Express—and receive $5 in Turtle Bucks slot play. Donate two toys or gifts and receive $10 in Turtle Bucks. Toys and gifts for all ages from infancy to high-school age are welcome. Acceptable donations include toys, games, winter clothing items, cosmetic items, jewelry and gift cards. Guests may donate once per day at each casino. A valid players club card is required.
Items collected will be distributed to charities in Barron, Burnett, Polk, St. Croix, Sawyer and Washburn counties during the week of December 5. Since 1993, more than 88,000 toys have been collected and distributed through the Gifts from the Heart program.
