Empowering Voters. Defending Democracy


Following the enormous success of the 11/1 food drive, the New Trier Township Food Pantry now needs our help sorting and assembling ready-to-go bags of food and essential items for SNAP recipients and pantry clients.
Please consider signing up for an hour or two this week to help sort and assemble!
Join us for coffee and treats at the Winnetka Congregational Church, 725 Pine, Tolman Fellowship Hall for presentations from the Presidents and Villlages Managers of Winnetka, Northfield, Kenilworth and the Township Supervisors. Please register here.
