Lemont Township Plans Giving Tree Program, Craft Fair

LEMONT, IL — Lemont Township is hosting two holiday events to spread holiday cheer and give back to the community. The township is offering its annual "Giving Tree" holiday program, which helps provide Christmas gifts to families in need.

According to the township, you can take a tag from the tree and give a gift card of $25. The tags and gift cards are due back by Dec. 10 to the township, 1115 Warner Ave.

You can also support the program for Lemont families by making a direct donation to Lemont Township, and notate "Giving Tree" on the memo line, the township said.

In addition to the Giving Tree, the township will host a vendor/craft fair from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Dec. 4 at the township community center, 16300 Alba St.

The Lemont Garden Club will also be selling live greens and other creations at the event, and some proceeds will benefit the township's family assistance program, the township said.
