Barrington Giving Day Winter Donation Drive
Barrington Giving Day is a non-profit organization that coordinates Giving Day events for Barrington Community Unit District 220 families who qualify for the Free and Reduced Meal Program or who have been hit by unexpected hardships.
As their Red Box Drive is underway, volunteers are highly needed to sort through and organize donations at their donation center located at the Arboretum of South Barrington (near Loft) through December 11th. Additional volunteers are needed to support their winter event at Station Middle School on December 13th and 14th (set-up on December 12th). Please consider volunteering your time to support local families.
