Through Friday, donations of non-perishable foods and new or gently-used hats and gloves are being collected for local food pantries and non-profits. This initiative is taking place at two district offices located at 132 E. Main Street in Dwight and 342 W. Walnut Street in Watseka.
"Even though winter has yet to officially begin, we have already seen snowfall in our area and we know what Illinois winters can be like," the announcement stated. The community is encouraged to contribute if possible.
"If you are able, please remember our neighbors in need and drop off donations of food or hats and gloves at either of my district offices before next Friday," the statement continued. The effort aims to support those facing difficulties during the cold season.
The announcement expressed gratitude towards those who participate: "Your generosity is truly appreciated."
