Warehouse needed for gift program
The Catholic Charities Christmas Gift program, a beloved tradition in the Lake County area, is now in search of a donated warehouse from which to operate the distribution operation. The program needs a donated warehouse space of approximately 50,000 square feet in the Waukegan area. Catholic Charities will pay the utilities cost and insurance and will assume liability. The distribution phase runs from Nov. 15 through Dec. 20. Each year Catholic Charities distributes more than 43,000 gifts and toys for 20,000 children and families in Cook and Lake Counties. For more information on donating a warehouse space, contact Jim Wogan at jwogan@catholiccharities.net or (847) 782-4210.
