Help Central Illinois Honor Flight

Thursday, December 1st, 2011

Central Illinois Honor Flights offers free flights for veterans to the World War II Memorial in Washington DC. In the spirit of giving this holiday season, please consider donating time or money to this great cause. We are all grateful to our WW II veterans, and the opportunity to see the memorial constructed in their honor is very meaningful for them. You can volunteer as a Guardian to accompany our veterans to the memorial and ensure they have a safe and memorable experience. You can also donate your time by helping with fundraising, outreach, or administrative support.  Your monetary donations go towards paying for airfare so that our veterans travel completely free.

Donate Today to Toys for Tots!

Saturday, November 26th, 2011

Help out your community by donating to Toy for Tots this holiday season! We are sponsoring this gift drive to collect new, unwrapped toys ($10 & Up) for children in need. While all donations are appreciated, we have a shortage of gifts for boys and girls ages 13-18, so we would be especially thankful for gifts for that age group. Things like dvds, hobby kits, and cosmetics are perfect gift ideas for young teens.  And, of course, younger children love toys! Thank you for helping the kids in our community have a great Christmas!

We are accepting donations through December 5th, so please don’t hesitate to donate today!
