Every act of generosity counts.
This Holiday season, we’re asking you to give your time, gratitude, and support.
Orland Township is an official partner who’s leading GivingTuesday efforts. You can learn more about Giving Tuesday by visiting givingtuesday.org, or by reading more below.
Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement, and is locally-led in over 240 communities, networks, and coalitions in the U.S.A. alone. This year, Orland Township’s Holiday Program will host a Donation Drive-Thru on Giving Tuesday to allow the public to drop off new, unwrapped gift items, clothing, and nonperishable food items. All donations will go to local Township families in Orland Park, Orland Hills, and Tinley Park who are experiencing hardship. Items are needed for all ages, especially for pre-teens, teens and adults.
Orland Township’s Holiday Donation Drive-Thru’s will operate between 9 a.m. – 4 p.m., with the first being on November 28 in conjunction with Giving Tuesday, a global generosity movement that aims to unleash the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world. The second will occur the following week on Tuesday, December 5. Both will take place at Orland Township, 14807 S. Ravinia Ave., Orland Park. Township personnel will be on hand to unload donations from residents’ vehicles.
Donations of unexpired and unopened, non-perishable food, along with unwrapped, new gifts and personal items can be dropped off at the Township on either date. NEW gifts and clothing items for teenagers and adults are usually in short supply and greatly appreciated, as are monetary donations. This is a community-wide effort, and we need your support!
