Try the Salvation Army, Good Will, and Catholic Charities. Also contact DCFS they can steer you towards some stuff. I also think you still have time for Shop with a Cop I do not know any county in Illinois that does not run that program though I do not know much about cook county it is worth checking out. You should also contact some churches in your area. My Husband is a Marine and he says to contact toys for tots.

In our city the Salvation Army is currently taking applications for help at Christmas. I would try them. They are a good organization for such help. Also many churches offer help at this time of year.

Call the city office. They may be able to direct you.

Go to your local health and human services I think they usually have something. Check food pantries too.
