Channahon Park District’s Week of Giving
November 15-20

The Channahon Park District would like to invite the members of our community to participate in our Week of Giving as we extend a helping hand this holiday season and offer a variety of ways to give back.
Locations: Donation boxes will be available all week long at Arrowhead Community Center and Heritage Crossing Field House.

Monday Munchies – November 15
Non-perishable food items such as canned goods and boxed food items will be collected for local Micro-Pantries. Please check the
expiration date before making your donation.

Toiletry Tuesday – November 16
We will collect toiletries such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, etc. Items for babies are always welcome! These items help families at the Ronald McDonald House feel at home while they are focusing on the child’s health.

Winter Wednesday – November 17
We will collect all things needed for keeping warm in the winter months including winter coats, mittens/gloves, scarves, hats, snow pants, boots, blankets, and sweaters. All items will be donated to Chanooka Wish.

Pop Tab Thursday – November 18
Start saving your pop tabs and we’ll donate them to the Ronald McDonald House.

Furry Friend Friday – November 19
We will be giving back to our furry friends at local animal shelters. The ultimate gift would be a home for the holidays, but dry and canned food, treats, kitty litter, and toys are a big help.

Smile and Laugh Saturday – November 20
End the week with new blankets, toys, and games for the families of the Ronald McDonald House! These items will help bring comfort and a moment of calm to the families staying there. (Blankets can be any size and all material types are welcome).
