Snow and cold weather did not stand in the way of a successful food drive.
February 2021- Under the guidance of Ron Crawford, our Rotary Club, in partnership with Arlington Cares, organized our first ever drive-through food drive. It was a snowy and bitterly cold day, but that didn't seem to matter. We collected lots of food and cash donations for our local food pantries. Special shout-outs to Rick Koebernick, Amy Philpott and DKMO for their generous matching donations.
October 2020- We announced our 20/21 Community Grant Recipients. Over $10,000 in community grants were awarded to organizations serving local residents. Some of the grant funds will be used to enhance virtual learning, provide CPR mannequins, purchase medical ID bracelets for vulnerable residents, provide adaptive musical and theater experiences for students with disabilities and underwrite educational programming for senior citizens. Here is the list of 20/21 Community Grant recipients:
Arlington Cares * Arlington Heights Historical Museum * Clearbrook * Cross and Crown Lutheran Church * District 214 Education Foundation * Hunger Resource Network * Journeys The Road Home * Lutheran Home * NSSEO Foundation * Special Gifts Theater

Stocking up the Wheeling Food Pantry with eggs and cheese.
July 21, 2020- During the month of June, the Wheeling Towhship Food Pantry had a record number of 568 visits feeding 1,575 people. A shout-out to Kari Koebernick, who with help from Rotarians Chuck Frankiewicz, Betsy Kmiecik, and Linda Borton, coordinated a shopping trip to buy and deliver non-perishable items from the Food Pantry's wish list.
June 19, 2020- Rotarian Ron Crawford and John Amling have refurbished and donated over 1000 bicycles to people in need here in the Northwest suburbs and throughout the Chicagoland area. They are pictured above with their most recent donation in Maywood. Bikes are in such high demand right now, that many recipients are willing to make donations for them which John and Ron are donating to the Rotary Club's Charitable Foundation.
May 30, 2020- Another collaborative project by Northwest Eye Physicians (also fellow Rotarians) and AH Rotary! Volunteers worked together to provide sanitation kits to Northwest Community Hospital Covid 19 patients who can’t afford to purchase before going home. Many thanks to Drs. Chris Wood and Adam Prickett and Karen Baker for making this happen. Rotarians are joined by hospital staff to hand off the 50 buckets.
