Shout Out

There really are some caring people out there.  Barb Lonergan is just one such individual.

Barb isn't what you would call a friend or even someone that I have been close to over the years.  In fact, Barb and I usually cross paths just once a year when it is time to collect school supplies. 

This Elmhurst resident typically conducts a recycling day once a year within the community.  She simply does amazing things for our charity.  Barb contacts schools, asks them to participate in our 'Go Green' program, locates a person in each school to coordinate the event, provides them with boxes, gives them a list of needed supplies, and arranges the days for me to pick up the supplies.

This is no small feat to pull off!  Barb has nine Elmhurst schools committed to participate in our school supply collection drive this year.  Nine schools!!  That is truly amazing.

Aside from collecting these school supplies Barb also collects all types of other products that otherwise would end up in a land fill or otherwise pollute the environment.  Many of these products are in good enough condition to use again.

I am extremely proud to partner with Barb Lonergan and appreciate all that she does to benefit the students we serve.  Yes, one person can and does make a huge difference.
