Now through December 2 at the River Forest Public Library
The Library is proud to once again serve as a drop-off site for Sarah’s Inn Annual Holiday Gift Drive. Sarah’s Inn is a domestic violence agency based in Oak Park that supports families across Chicago and the western suburbs. This year, their goal is to collect 1,000 gifts to brighten the holidays for their clients.
Drop off new, unwrapped gifts in the donation box located in the lobby outside the Children’s Room.
