Earlier this month, the Worth Township Foundation handed out 400 backpacks and school supplies to children living in the township.

“School is so important and getting a good start on life,” said former Evergreen Park mayor and foundation president Jim Sexton. “Every kid and parent thanked us. With inflation many families cannot afford school supplies. Whether its food, meals, senior services, this is what the foundation does. We’re there for residents facing financial difficulties and we’re happy to help.”
