Thanks for giving to PADS of Elgin

Posted November 22, 2008 10:00 pm

On behalf of the Realtors of Baird and Warner, North Randall office in Carpentersville, we want to thank the generous people of the Elgin area for their overwhelming participation in our Make A Difference Day Needs Drive Saturday, Oct. 25.

During our four hours in front of Walmart on Randall Road, we collected two vehicles (over 40 boxes) full of necessary items for PADS of Elgin and were able to supply PADS with such items as coffee, creamer, paper goods, shoes, laundry detergent and other items.

We were overwhelmed with the generosity of giving that occurred during our time at the store.

Thank you especially to Walmart for allowing us to stand in front of their store! Thank you to the Realtors and their family members who participated in this event and made it one of our best events yet. The people of the Elgin area are extremely generous and we thank them.

If you were unable to give that day, but are interested in giving to PADS, call (847) 608-9744 or visit padsofelgin.org.
