COMMUNITY-WIDE FOOD DRIVE
|
On Saturday, April 12th, neighbors, businesses, scouts, and schools will be focusing efforts on the 5th Annual Community-wide Food Drive in Carol Stream. Sponsored by the Rotary Club, all these will converge at Glenbard North, 990 N. Kuhn Road between 11am and 4pm. Residents will walk in with donations, "Neighborhood Partners" who have put bags and flyers on nearby homes will bring those items collected, as will our businesses and schools who have served as Collection Points. It's truly a community effort which helps re-fill three food pantries in the village. Your office, family, business, or organization can help, if you'd like.
