Each summer, Hilco Global hosts several summer job internships for some of Chicago’s inner-city youth who are involved with Chicago’s Youth Guidance and All Stars DSY programs. The program works with students from both organizations and is designed to provide these students with real-life job experience by helping them build upon the skills learned in the Youth Guidance and All Star programs.

Hilco Helps donated thousands of toys to needy children in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago. Through a partnership with Cradles to Crayons Chicago, Hilco Helps was able to hand out a variety of toys and games across age levels.

Rahm's Readers Summer Learning Challenge is a growing City of Chicago program aimed at helping kids keep their minds active during the summer months. To support this amazing cause and help motivate the young readers, Hilco Helps donated toys and books to the Chicago Public Library that were given away as rewards at the end of the summer to children who participated in the event.

Leaders from Hilco Global participated in Boston Mayor’s Enchanted Trolley Tour and Tree lighting event by giving out toys to the children in attendance. The toy donation was part of Hilco Helps’ year-long toy giveaway to disadvantaged children in Chicago and Boston.
