On this Thanksgiving we would like to thank volunteers, donors, the Indo-American Center and community for their support in providing and delivering the household and hygiene supplies needed most. Yesterday at our November distribution event (the last of 2025!) we loved to see so many family members volunteer and a special shout-out to Rotary Club of Northbrook for the much-appreciated donated coats. All monetary donations welcome at www.stocktheshelves.org/donate.

A reminder that the November Stock the Shelves distribution event (our last of the year!) is this Wednesday, November 26 at the Indo-American Center, 6328 N. California Avenue. Unloading the truck starts at 8am and we appreciate any in-person support you can provide. Also, with Giving Tuesday approaching this holiday season, consider a monetary donation at www.stocktheshelves.org/donate. Your support is needed now more than ever.

This morning Stepan volunteers stepped out and stepped up to support Stock the Shelves and our refugee community. A wonderful Stepan team joined many of our volunteer regulars to distribute the household and hygiene supplies needed most, especially during these challenging times. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all those who donated and volunteered and especially to the Indo-American Center which has for years provided a safe space for refugees to forge community and build better lives. The demand for the household and hygiene supplies is higher than ever and our resources are very lean so please consider a monetary donation at www.stocktheshelves.org/donate. Also mark your calendars for the LAST distribution event of 2025: Wednesday, November 26, 2025.

Wilmette Troop 5 to the rescue! While loading up for a camping trip, the troop stumbled upon Stock the Shelves super-volunteer Meghan moving boxes and lent a helping hand(s). We are so grateful for the help!

Another wonderful Stock the Shelves distribution event this morning. We served 190+ refugee families! Thank you to our hardworking volunteers (special shoutout to Angel, Bill, Claire and Gary!) and our generous donors who make these events possible. We ran short on many items so monetary donations will allow us to stock the shelves with the items needed most for next month’s distribution event on October 22. Hope to see you there! Payments can be made at www.stocktheshelves.org/donate.

This morning cooler weather greeted Stock the Shelves volunteers and refugees as we delivered household and hygiene supplies to 200 families during our August distribution event. Special shout out to new volunteer Gina, sister and sister-in-law to Stock the Shelves super-volunteer couple Lisa Antas Marzano and Kevin Marzano. Thank you to all who made today's distribution event possible through donations and hard work. And mark your calendars for next month's distribution event on Wednesday, September 24. Due to low inventory, some refugees did not get all items at today's event so donations very welcome (and needed!) Monetary donations encouraged here: www.stocktheshelves.org/donate.
