Winter may still feel a little ways off, but it’s never too early to help a child stay warm.

Our annual Coats for Kids winter clothing drive is back October 19-23! While you’re shopping for yourself or your family, consider picking up a new coat, snow pants, boots, hat or gloves for a School District 54 student. We’re collecting new winter gear in all sizes to help local students stay warm this winter.

Drop-off locations and hours are available at schaumburgtownship.org/annualevents

Thank you for helping make winter a little warmer for local kids!

Want a job where you can make a difference in someone’s day?

We're looking for drivers to join our Transportation team:

• Part-Time Bus Driver
• Temporary Bus Driver

Our drivers do more than get residents from point A to point B. They provide safe, reliable transportation for older adults and residents with disabilities, lend a helping hand when needed, and help residents stay independent and connected to the community.

If you’re dependable, enjoy working with people, and want your work to have a purpose, we’d love to hear from you.
