Toy and Winter Gear Drive
Toy Drive: The Basketball teams are partnering with Project LEAD Local and Youth Service Bureau (a local foster care agency) to collect toys for children and youth in foster care. Toys for ages newborn-18 years old will be accepted at ALL home basketball games running from now through December 14.

Winter Gear Drive: Project LEAD Local is also collecting winter gear for the children of Puente Del Pueblo. The West Chicago teachers have noticed that many of the children are coming to school without coats, socks, and warm clothing. We will collect any and all winter gear – including jackets/coats, warm hats, gloves, socks, scarves, etc. from now through finals week. Sizes for children ages 5-10 years old are needed. Gear can be dropped off in Mr. Rivera’s classroom between now and finals week.
