3 ways to give to local families

Dear families,

As the holidays approach, we wanted to send out some very special opportunities to make a difference in our own community.

  • DG58 Holiday Wish Lists for Children in Need (we have 137 wish lists available!)
  • 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!

 

PLEASE CONSIDER SIGNING UP TO BUY GIFTS FOR A CHILD IN NEED in DG58, we have 137 wish lists for local children!

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 

 


PLEASE CONSIDER SIGNING UP TO DONATE NEW WINTER CLOTHING TO A CHILD IN NEED to Woodridge Elementary school children in need:

Our goal is to beat our donations last year of over 200 items to deliver to Woodridge Elementary. For the non-shoppers, gift cards are always appreciated.

We will send specific information on where to drop the NEW winter donations off in Downers Grove to those who sign up by DEC 11th.
