Naperville Park District invites the community to donate to the annual Pennies for Pies drive from Monday, November 4, through Friday, November 22. Pennies for Pies is a charitable initiative that began in 2006 by the District’s preschool classrooms with the goal of encouraging donations of any amount – including bills or coins – to help fund the purchase of pumpkin pies to benefit residents in need through Loaves & Fishes Community Services. Beginning today, November 4, donations may be made in person at five different Park District facilities or online at napervilleparks.org by clicking “Register Online” and then “Donations,” or use the direct link at https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/napervilleparks/donation.
