Donate to Elk Grove Township's Snow Angels campaign

Throughout the month of November, Elk Grove Township and Community Consolidated School District 59 are partnering for the third annual Snow Angels campaign.

The program collects donated snow boots and pants that benefit in-need children attending District 59 schools.

Community members are asked to donate new or gently used snow pants and boots for girls and boys. These donations give under-resourced children the ability to go outside for recess when snow is on the ground, because snow pants and boots are required by the school district for a child to be able to participate in recess.

"We are grateful for the partnerships we have established with District 59 over the last couple of years, as well as with all of our community drop-off location partners," said Elk Grove Township Supervisor Mike Sweeney.

"Each of these partners have helped us to ensure these children have the winter gear they need to keep warm during the colder months."

Drop off boxes will be at the following locations during the month of November:

• Elk Grove Township, 2400 S. Arlington Heights Road, Arlington Heights.

• District 59 Administration Building, 2123 S. Arlington Heights Road, Arlington Heights, and all District 59 schools.

• Parkway Bank & Trust Company, 1408 W. Algonquin Road in Arlington Heights, and 951 Meacham Road in Elk Grove Village.

• Prince of Peace United Methodist Church, 1400 Arlington Heights Road, Elk Grove Village.

• Shinnyo-En Chicago Temple, 120 E. Devon Ave., Elk Grove Village.

• Christus Victor Lutheran Church, 1045 S. Arlington Heights Road, Elk Grove Village.

• Frisbie Senior Center, 52 E. Northwest Hwy., Des Plaines
