The Naperville Park District will accept donations for the 16th annual Pennies for Pies drive from Nov. 1 to 18. Donations of any amount will be used to purchase pies for residents in need this holiday season, to be distributed through Loaves & Fishes Community Services.
The idea of Pennies for Pies came from park district preschool classrooms back in 2006, to teach the lesson that small donations combined can make a big difference. Last year, 120 pies were purchased thanks to the funds raised.
