Naperville Sunrise Rotary is hosting a food and book drive to benefit local children and families in need.
NAPERVILLE, IL — Residents can donate food and books as part of Naperville Sunrise Rotary's holiday drive to local benefit kids and their families on behalf of West Suburban Community Pantry (WSCP). The donation drive will be held Nov. 10 from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. outside of Naperville Country Club, 25w570 Chicago Ave., Naperville.
The initiative comes as WSCP has seen an ongoing increase in clients. “We served nearly 70 percent more people last year,” WSCP CEO Suzanne Armato said in a statement.
She added, “With the holidays being our busiest time of year, we need our communities’ help to ensure that everyone can enjoy the sense of warmth and security that we all seek during the holiday season.”
