The Carol Stream Park District is partnering with the Rotary Club of Carol Stream and other community partners — Village of Carol Stream and District 25’s Benjamin Middle School — to collect winter coats, hats, scarves, mittens and gloves.

Donations can be dropped off through Feb. 28, 2025, at the following facilities during operating hours:

• Fountain View Recreation Center, 910 N. Gary Ave. in Carol Stream

• Simkus Recreation Center, 849 W. Lies Road in Carol Stream

• Benjamin Middle School, 28W300 St. Charles Road in West Chicago

• Village of Carol Stream, 500 N. Gary Ave. in Carol Stream

All donations will go to Repeat Boutique in Carol Stream. They provide clothing and practical household goods to people in need.

This annual coat drive demonstrates the power of community partnerships in addressing local challenges and making a lasting impact.
