Seeking donations of spring cleaning products

Hope and Friendship Foundation is once again rallying donations of spring cleaning products to help a few homes right here, right now.

I believe this will be the first time many of us can not wait to do some spring cleaning because this will mean that spring has FINALLY arrived!!

To do that deep cleaning requires products to wash the windows, the floors, the carpets, mops to get behind the appliances, sponges to wash down the cabinets, extra detergent to launder those throw rugs. The cost of those products really doesn't effect some of us, but for others it would be a privilege to have this supply of cleaning and paper products at their disposal. At this time of year Hope and Friendship rallies donations of cleaning and paper products, then a group of volunteers gather to sort, assemble and deliver of what has been collected to a few homes right here within our arms' reach that could truly use and extremely appreciate this "gift".

The drop off is the Lemont Police Department lobby (lobby open Monday-Friday 8am-5pm, if you cannot make it during those hours and lobby is not open drop off in the entry way and Terri will move to the drop bin).
