WINGS staff and volunteers will be holding a donation drive Saturday at the site of the former store at Northwest Highway and Rohlwing Road that was destroyed by fire last year, on June 18, 2010.
The drive will be held from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday June 19, 2011 — one year and a day after the destructive fire.
People are encouraged to drop off household items, clothing and accessories in good condition, which can be sold at one of the agency’s three resale shops. Sales go to help victims of domestic violence and their children through WINGS housing and services.
Donors receive resale store coupons with maps to the temporary site WINGS opened in the Park Place Shopping Plaza at 1315 Rand Road, Palatine, near Whole Foods and Walmart at Rand Road and Dundee Road.
Its a shame they can’t rebuild at that location…I used to like stopping there during my lunch hour.
