Naperville Park District thanks everyone who contributed to the 2024 Pennies for Pies drive, conducted earlier this month, to provide pumpkin pies for the annual Thanksgiving meal initiative through Loaves & Fishes Community Services. Preschool children, Park District employees, and many Naperville residents provided cash donations, including small change, at several Park District facilities, and online contributions were accepted at napervilleparks.org.
The donations totaled $543.24 and were used to purchase 130 pumpkin pies for Loaves & Fishes Community Services to include in their holiday meals for community members in need. —NPD
