Our Community Clothing Drive is underway! 👕👖🧥

We're collecting new and gently used clothing, shoes, blankets, backpacks, and other essential items to support local clothing closets and families in need. There is a particular need for men's clothing, as well as new socks, underwear, and hygiene products.

Donations can be dropped off at our district office at 1252 W. Northwest Highway in Palatine through September 12.

Thank you for helping us ensure that members of our community have access to clothing and everyday essentials. Every donation makes a difference! 💙
