New Trier Township COVID-19 Update-Temporary Office Hours

New Trier Township officials are working to keep everyone healthy, meeting via video conferencing to discuss the latest Coronavirus news. Our team is planning for the best ways to serve our communities in the weeks ahead.

The township will limit office hours to minimize the spread of COVID-19. The township hall remains closed to the public for non-essential services until further notice. To protect township personnel and clients, our hours of operation have been adjusted as follows:

Monday: 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.

Tuesday: 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.

Wednesday: 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.

Thursday: Closed

Friday: 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.

Residents in need of emergency food assistance can receive one bag of non-perishable food that will be distributed through the front door. Clients are asked to phone Brian Leverenz at (847) 446-8203 or Lorrecia Pearson (847) 446-8202 during the hours listed above. No inside pantry shopping is permitted during the pandemic.

These uncertain times will also create financial complications for many residents. If you are in need of emergency financial assistance, please phone Jeanne Winsted Rosser at (847) 446-8201.

Due to increasing demand and difficulty sourcing all necessary items, we are in need of donations of paper goods and groceries. Of particular need are staples such as rice, peanut butter, pasta, canned soup, instant mashed potatoes, canned vegetables and fruit. Contributions of toilet paper, facial tissues and paper towels are greatly appreciated. We will gratefully accept these items by appointment. Please phone Brian Leverenz, Community Service Administrator at (847) 446-8203 and he will meet you at the township entrance.

We are all being asked to do our part by sheltering in-place. Certainly this is a difficult time, and we encourage everyone to make some phone calls, engage on social media, and look out for one another. If someone you know is not a subscriber to the New Trier Township Dispatch, please encourage them to visit www.NewTrierTownship.com select Resident Services and click the link to register for the Dispatch eNewsletter, delivered every other Friday.

Please know your township officials have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic. Rest assured that we are committed to providing essential services during this national emergency situation.
