Naperville Park District invites donations to the 14th annual Pennies for Pies drive from November 2-20. From its inception in 2006, the goal of the Pennies for Pies campaign has been to encourage the community to make donations of any amount, including pocket change, to help fund the purchase of pumpkin pies to benefit residents in need through Loaves & Fishes Community Services. Donations still may be made in person at select Park District facilities, however, new this year is for anyone to donate to the campaign online at apm.activecommunities.com/napervilleparks/ActiveNet_Home?FileName=onlinedonation.sdi.
Donations may be dropped off in person at the following locations:
• Fort Hill Activity Center, 20 Fort Hill Drive. Open Monday – Friday, 5 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday, 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Sunday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m..
• Springbrook Golf Course, 2220 W. 83rd. Street. Golf shop will be open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., daily.
• Naperbrook Golf Course, 22204 W. 111th Street, Plainfield. Golf shop will be open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., daily.
The Park District preschool classrooms also will be collecting donations for pies. The idea for the drive came from the preschools to help teach children that small donations can add up to provide something larger.
