The District 64 Holiday Food Basket Drive was a success! In partnership with Kiwanis, we helped raise $21,750 to support local families who struggle with food insecurity. 145 families will get a $150 gift card to Mariano's. We'd also like to express our appreciation to Mariano's for making a sizeable donation to help us reach our goal.

D64 Superintendent Dr. Eric Olson, CSBO Dr. Adam Parisi, and BOE Member Garreth Kennedy joined the Kiwanis Club of Park Ridge and other community members in wrapping up the gift cards. 

"To be in a community that cares this much about families in the community and the children is outstanding," said Kris Cichowski, Kiwanis of Park Ridge President.
