The Channahon Park District is rolling out donation boxes! We are calling all community superheroes to join our Community Cares Week! Let us sprinkle kindness this Holiday season to those who could use a little extra love. Swing by Arrowhead Community Center & Heritage Crossing Field House to drop off your donations all week long!
November 17 - Packed with Love
We’re collecting travel-sized toiletries—think toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, shampoo, and more—for the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House. These small items bring a touch of comfort and care during a challenging time, helping families feel just a little more at home while they focus on their children. Every tiny toiletry can make a big impact!
November 18 - Share the Warmth
Let’s wrap the families and siblings at the Ronald McDonald House in cozy comfort and care! We're collecting brand-new blankets to bring a little magic and serenity to their stay. Imagine each bed topped with a soft, inviting blanket—ready to be snuggled under from the moment they arrive, and theirs to take home when it's time to go. Big or small, fluffy or smooth, every blanket adds warmth to their journey. Let’s make sure no one misses out on a blanket hug!
November 19 - Stock the Pantry
Let’s rally together to collect classic pantry staples—canned goods, boxed meals, and other non-perishables—for our local food pantries. Just a quick reminder: please check those expiration dates before donating to ensure every item is safe and ready to share. Let’s fill the shelves and hearts with care!
November 20 - Game Night
Let’s spread a little joy at the Ronald McDonald House by donating brand-new board games, puzzles, and toys! Picture the smiles and laughter as families come together for a fun-filled game night—just when they need it most. Your generous gift can help create those special moments. Let the games (and happiness) begin!
November 21 - Every Tab Counts
Start saving those shiny pop tabs. They may be small, but they can make a big difference! Each pound of pop tabs and other recycled materials raises an average of $0.55 for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana. It’s a simple way to give back—collect, contribute, and help us turn tabs into hope. Let’s stack them high and show how little things can lead to big changes!
November 22 - Paws of Joy
While we cannot adopt every fluffy pal this season, we can shower them with presents and goodies to make their tails wag with joy! Think about contributing dry food, fresh treats, toys, and other essentials to local animal shelters. They will be wagging their tails in gratitude for your generosity!
November 23 - Brighter Futures
Join us in lifting up the brave women and children at local shelters as they take steps toward a fresh start. We’re collecting women’s essentials, baby supplies, laundry items, and even Uber gift cards to help ease their daily challenges. Every item is a gesture of care, comfort, and encouragement. Together, we can bring hope, dignity, and a little relief to those who need it most.
Dates: Monday November 17 - Sunday November 23
Locations: Arrowhead Community Center and Heritage Crossing Field House
