Give back and stay well this season with Elk Grove Township
Coat Donation Drive: Winter is approaching, and you can help your neighbors in need stay warm through the township’s Winter Coat Drive, made possible due to a partnership with St. Paul of the Cross Church in Park Ridge. New or gently used clean coats for men, women and children are being accepted, with a special need for larger sizes. Coat donations are requested by Wednesday, Oct. 30, to the township (600 Landmeier Road in Elk Grove Village) Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Free Flu Vaccination Clinic: In partnership with Ascension Alexian Brothers, a free flu shot clinic will be available to township residents, 18 years of age and older. While walk-ins are welcome, reservations are recommended. The clinic will take place from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. Friday, Nov. 1, at the Elk Grove Township Meeting Hall, 600 Landmeier Road, in Elk Grove Village. Thanksgiving Donation Drive: Help the township reach its goal! The township’s Thanksgiving Donation Drive is now in full swing, and the community’s support is needed to meet the goal of $14,000 in donations. Currently, the township has raised nearly $3,000. This fundraising goal will ensure that all individuals who currently utilize the Food Pantry can enjoy traditional Thanksgiving meals. The pantry currently serves more than 1,000 residents each month. Donations can be made using the form in the summer edition of the township newsletter, or directly on the township website at https://elkgrovetownship.com/ways-to-donate/. “Whether it’s making sure residents experiencing financial challenges can enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal or stay warm this winter with a much-needed coat, or by protecting the health of our residents through free flu shots, the Township is always working to meet the needs of our community members,” said Elk Grove Township Supervisor George Busse. “It is our mission to support and empower people through community partnerships.” For information on these and other services offered by the township, call (847) 437-0300 or visit elkgrovetownship.com.
