State Rep. Brad Fritts, R-Dixon, Ill., and the Regional Office of Education 47 will co-host an upcoming winter clothes drive for local students and families in need. The drive will run from Nov. 1-16. Accepted items include new gloves, hats, jackets, coats, scarves, snow pants, snow boots, and socks.
“Let’s come together as a community to ensure everyone has warm clothing for the winter season,” said Fritts. “Every donation will make a real difference in the lives of our neighbors who need some extra help this year. Thank you to the Regional Office of Education, along with our 18 drop-off locations, for partnering with us to make this drive a reality.”
