The holiday season is fast approaching, and Kids Above All is once again asking the community to help make it special for the 1,600 children in their care. The nonprofit’s Annual Holiday Gift Drive hopes to bring joy and gifts to children and youth impacted by poverty, violence, and injustice. The drive begins on Monday, Nov. 16th. They are collecting new toys, books, and clothing for children of all ages. Donations can be dropped off at Kids Above All’s Better Life Distribution Center, 1801 E. Oakton St., in Des Plaines beginning Monday, November 16, during regular business hours. Volunteers are also needed to organize, wrap, and bag gifts. Volunteer opportunities begin Thursday, Dec. 3rd. For more information, visit kidsaboveall.org. For more information or to reserve your volunteer spot, contact Zulma Colon via email at zcolon@kidsaboveall.org or by phone at 773-949-7991.
