Volunteers in Action: GFWC Naperville Woman’s Club (IL) & GFWC East Peoria Woman’s Club (IL)

August 15, 2023

Members of the GFWC Naperville Woman’s Club (IL) collected and donated $500 in school supplies to Indian Prairie School District 204. The school district serves roughly 27,400 students from the Illinois communities of Aurora, Bolingbrook, Plainfield and Naperville in DuPage and Will counties and has 4 schools categorized as Title I.

Title I schools receive additional federal funding from the U.S. Department of Education due to the high percentage of low-income families they serve.

GFWC East Peoria Woman’s Club (IL) collected school supplies for the Fondulac District Library. The library requested school supplies to distribute to students in need.

Thank you ladies for supporting education and Living the Volunteer Spirit!
