We’re partnering with a few of our local organizations to help them help others. The community drive runs from July 6th through July 25 for Kids in Need McHenry County and D300 Food Pantry and August 7th for D300 Community Closet. You can help by donating school supplies, and clothing items for kids in our community.
Please spread the word!
