Rep. Moeller Helps Less Fortunate with Holiday Donation Drives

ELGIN -- State Rep. Anna Moeller wants everyone to embrace the spirit of giving to help those with less this holiday season.

She is sponsoring two ongoing donation drives: one for winter clothing, and the other for holiday toys for kids in foster care. Read more about her efforts here:

As it gets colder outside and winter’s grip sets in, some in our community struggle to stay warm. Foster children deserve to have a memorable holiday season. State Rep. Anna Moeller is asking for the community to help.

Rep. Moeller, D-Elgin, is offering her Winter Clothing Drive and Holiday Toy Drive in the 43rd House District during the holiday season:

WINTER CLOTHING DRIVE

Rep. Moeller is asking for donations of new or gently used coats, hats, scarves, gloves and boots at five locations in the district at these locations:

• Rep. Moeller’s Constituent Services Office (164 Division St., Suite 103, Elgin)
• Taylor Family Branch YMCA (50 N. McLean Blvd, Elgin)
• Elgin City Hall (150 Dexter Ct, Elgin)
• The Center of Elgin (100 Symphony Way, Elgin)
• Carpentersville Fire Station #2 (305 Lake Marion Road, Carpentersville)

The winter clothing drive runs from now through the end of December. Donations for children age one month to 10 years old are asked to be turned in by Dec. 9.

HOLIDAY TOY DRIVE

Rep. Moeller is partnering with Aunt Martha’s to collect new toys or gift cards for children in foster care between age one month and 17 years old, at these locations:

• Rep. Moeller’s Constituent Services Office (164 Division St., Suite 103, Elgin)
• Taylor Family Branch YMCA (50 N. McLean Blvd, Elgin)
• Elgin City Hall (150 Dexter Ct, Elgin)
• Carpentersville Fire Station #2 (305 Lake Marion Road, Carpentersville)

Donations for the toy drive will be accepted through Dec. 9.

“It’s easy with the hectic holiday season for us to forget about those in need, but these needs are very real all around us,” Moeller said. “If you can help us help others stay warm this winter or provide a brighter holiday season for a child in foster care, please take time to visit one of our locations and make a donation. Thank you to our locations and everyone who participates to make a difference for our communities in these coming weeks.”
