UPCOMING FOUNDATION FUNDRAISER
Help us with our January Foundation Fundraiser for  scholarships and we'll help you clean your closets. Drop off bags of used clothing, household goods, books, etc (separate bags would be best) to our collection spot at Joe Cotton Ford, 175 W. North Avenue, Carol Stream (thank you!!) Monday through Friday, 9:00am until 3:00pm. This FUNDrive through Savers will continue the entire month of January. Help keep usable items out of the landfill while, at the same time, helping de-clutter your closets, basements, homes, etc. Our goal is 800 bags of clothing which will allow us to offer two $1,000 college scholarships for our local students. Questions? Call the chamber office at 630.665.3325. We also thank our friends at Savers! Here are links to a graphic as well as a poster for you to print and post in your facility (please and thank you!)
