- Woodridge Schools Winter Clothing Donations
- Fleece Blanket Drive for local Cancer Patients
Please consider participating in one of these local causes! Details are below as well as a save the date for our Comedy Show Fundraiser in January!

Our goal is to provide 2-3 gifts per child for DG58. For the non-shoppers, gift cards are always appreciated ($20 or more is a good amount).
We will send specific information on where to drop the unwrapped gifts off in Downers Grove to those who sign up by DEC 11th.
There will be a need to help sort and bag gifts in December. We will also need a couple of volunteers to assist in delivering items to area elementary schools before break
