• Plainfield's Bags of Hope Marks 10 Years, Honors Late Champion Tom Hernandez (thetimesweekly.com) — Romeoville families in District 202 benefit directly from Bags of Hope, which quietly sends weekend food home with students facing hunger across Plainfield, Romeoville, and neighboring communities. As the program marks its 10th anniversary and honors late supporter Tom Hernandez on Sept. 18, organizers are seeking more Wednesday volunteers and potential sponsors to keep hundreds of weekly food bags and holiday boxes going.
