The University of Illinois at Chicago’s CHANCE program hosted a holiday toy drive that collected nearly 200 toys to support local nonprofit organizations during the holiday season.

CHANCE, which stands for Counseling Help and Assistance Necessary for a 21st century College Education, was formed in 2004 to help UIC reach students from underrepresented populations and provide them with support through counseling and workshops.
