MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- In an effort to spread holiday joy and aid to local families, North Shore Bank has initiated a toy drive across many of its SE Wisconsin branches. The bank aims to gather donations for various local organizations to help uplift children and families during the holiday season.

North Shore Bank branches in Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha and Germantown are designated drop-off points for new, unwrapped toys suitable for children up to 11 years old, with a special emphasis on winter clothing, book, and riding toys for toddlers.

The 2023's drive continues the bank's celebration of its tradition, marking its 100th anniversary.

Donations are accepted through Dec. 13 for the Christmas Clearing Council in Waukesha County, Toys for Tots in Racine and Kenosha Counties and St. John’s UCC for Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child in Germantown, which concludes earlier on Nov. 20.
