It’s the season of giving! North Shore Bank is hosting a holiday event to collect toys and is inviting the public and employees to make donations in both our Northeast region and our Southeast region. 

Community members are encouraged to donate new, unwrapped toys, books, and other gifts for children ages birth to 11-years-old. At this time, the most needed items are winter clothing, books, riding toys for toddlers, sleeping bags, and blankets. You can join in and make donations at participating locations.

There are now two newly formed opportunities to donate in Milwaukee that you can support. 

North Shore Bank’s Mitchell Street branch, located at 1316 W. Forest Home Ave., is teaming up with long-time partner Latino Chamber of Commerce of Southeastern Wisconsin to collect donations for toys to be distributed to the Milwaukee Christian Center. Toys will be collected at the Mitchell Street branch or Latino Chamber of Commerce (530 S. 11th Street Suite 300A) from now until December 18th. 

In addition, our Jackson Park branch, located at 4230 W. Oklahoma Ave., is partnering with Latino Entrepreneurial Network (530 S. 11th Street Suite 300B) to jointly collect and distribute toys to St. Jacinto/St. Hyacinth Church from now until December 18th.

Once again, the bank is hosting its annual Jackson Park Christmas Tree Lighting on Friday, December 1st. During this event, the community is welcome to join for hot chocolate, cookies, a visit from Santa, and to drop off toy donations!
