MC2 Participating in Kids In Need Stuff the Duffel Donation Event

What: Kids in Need (KIN) of McHenry County is collecting duffel bags, clothing, shoes, toiletries, diapers, bedding, and other necessities to pack bags for children who are entering foster care. This important event provides much-needed items to children going through a difficult time and gives them the dignity of transitioning to a new residence with a proper travel bag. Pick up a heart card with a list of needed items for a child, and stuff the duffel!

KIN is collecting items from May 1st to May 28th, 2025.

Heart cards are available at over 20 locations in Algonquin, Crystal Lake, Lake in the Hills, McHenry, and beyond. There are also many Drop Box locations across the County. A complete list can be found on the Stuff the Duffel Event Page.
