Roadrunners is very proud of the generosity our families have shown every holiday season.

 

For the last few years, Roadrunners has proudly working in conjunction with DG58 to help put smiles on children's faces over the holidays.

We will be receiving specific wish lists next week! If you think your business or employees would like to partner with us, please let us know.

 You can sign up and buy age appropriate gifts according to age and gender, or add your name to the sign up and we will contact you and/or match you up for a specific child -(we will be adding specific children's wish lists next week). Our goal is to provide 2-3 gifts per child and/or family. For the non-shoppers, gift cards are always appreciated ($20 is a good amount)-usually used to buy winter clothing. 

Carl Turk will be coordinating the efforts on Roadrunners behalf. We will send specific information on where to drop the gifts off in Downers Grove to those who sign up.

There will be need to help sort and bag gifts on or around mid-December. We will also need a couple of volunteers to assist in delivering items to area elementary schools before break.
