$5,000 Donation from Society to Food Pantry & Self Help Closet ![]() A $5,000 monetary donation, plus hundreds of food and personal care items, were given to the Self Help Closet & Pantry of Des Plaines by the Society. At their annual combined Christmas party on December 13, the young people of the Society welcomed Debra Walusiak, Executive Director of the Self Help Closet & Pantry. It was the ninth year that our children and youth folk dance groups participated. ![]() The Society’s Board of Directors is proud of its youth, because they have once again shared their good fortune with families in their community who show a demonstrable need. Although the Christmas season brings in the greatest quantities of food items, the Society collects non-perishable food items and personal care products all year long for the Self Help Closet & Pantry of Des Plaines. Large red bins are set out in the building’s entryway and we encourage our members to bring donations at any time. The donations are transported to the Food Pantry on a regular basis by volunteers. |
