Niles Township Works With Community to Help Students

Community residents, employees of Guarantee Trust Life Insurance Company, and the staff at Niles Township worked side by side to collect essential school supplies for children in need. Township Food Pantry Manager Tony Araque and his team organized supplies and filled 50 backpacks with essential school supplies.

Marilyn D. Glazer, Supervisor of Niles Township stated, "We want children in our Township to begin the school year with everything they need to learn and not worry. Starting a new school year is challenging enough without fretting over not having proper supplies. The success of this project each year is attributed to people in the communities we serve being generous and wanting to help children succeed."

Since 1850, Niles Township Government has been dedicated to improving life for its residents. Niles Township is located in the northeast corner of Cook County. With a population of over 105,000 the Township includes the villages of Skokie, Lincolnwood and Golf, and sections of Morton Grove, Niles and Glenview.
