Covenant Living of Northbrook residents make donations to first responders, library, food pantry

Covenant Living of Northbrook residents demonstrated their spirit of giving back to the greater community during a luncheon where donations were given to the Northbrook Police and Fire departments, the Northbrook Library and the Northfield Township Food Pantry. Funds for the donations were raised at the senior living community's annual Holly Fair.

"We weren't able to hold this event in 2020 because of COVID restrictions, and so we're thrilled to finally be able to do this," said Bob Martin, Covenant Living of Northbrook resident and acting Holly Fair chairman. "We believe in being good neighbors, and providing these donations is our way of showing appreciation for everything these organizations do, not only for us, but for the entire Northbrook area."

The ceremony included remarks by Hilde Sager, Covenant Living of Northbrook's executive director, and Northbrook Village President Kathryn Ciesla. The presentation event was held in Covenant Living's Fellowship Center, with residents in attendance, and it was broadcast on the in-house television channel.
