The holidays are here, and there are several ways that you can give back during this most thankful time of year with the Naperville Park District.
Honor our veterans at the Healing Field of Honor on Rotary Hill in Naperville
The Healing Field of Honor is returning to Naperville for Veteran’s Day. From November 7 to 12, visit Rotary Hill on the Naperville Riverwalk and experience the awe-inspiring field of American Flags honoring military veterans. Additionally, the Vietnam Wall of Remembrance replica will return to commemorate the 50th anniversary of welcoming home U.S. troops from South Vietnam.
Donate to local families in need
Every year, the Naperville Park District collects donations for Pennies for Pies and the Community Christmas Luncheon. Both collections are wonderful ways to support those in need in our community, especially during the holidays. Learn more about these wonderful initiatives and help make someone’s holiday season special through your support.
Make a child’s holiday memorable with Toys for Tots
Brighten the holiday spirit of a child in need in our community by participating in the annual DuPage County Toys for Tots drive. Naperville Park District Park Police are again spearheading a local campaign, collecting new, unwrapped toys at six different Park District locations across Naperville. Thank you in advance for your generosity and for making the holiday season memorable for children of all ages.
Give the gift of recreation
On Giving Tuesday – and any day – you can give the gift of recreation by supporting the Park District’s Fee Assistance Program. This initiative gives Naperville residents experiencing financial hardships the opportunity to enjoy the wide-ranging benefits of recreation that many of us take for granted. Fee Assistance Program donations help fund Park District programs and memberships for those in need, allowing every resident the ability to enjoy a healthier and happier life.
