The Filling Station Pub & Grill in June 2023 celebrated its 35th anniversary and took the opportunity to give back to the community that has supported it throughout the years, according to a news release from the St. Charles dining establishment.

The Filling Station said it initiated a charity donation campaign to commemorate the anniversary and set the stage for the season of giving.

The community responded with overwhelming support, according to the release, making the initiative a success by donating $4,300 to local charitable organizations in the community.

Local organizations were Suicide Prevention Services ($1,191), Lazarus House ($895), CASA Kane County ($920) and Rover Rescue ($1,285).

From 4 to 7 p.m on Thursdays in June, The Filling Station hosted the fundraisers in which 30% of the restaurant’s net sales were donated to a specific nonprofit.

“Each charity organization came out and shared information with guests about their programs, upcoming events and how to get involved. This was a great opportunity for the charity to communicate needs as far as support, from volunteer opportunities and funding to spreading awareness to promote the good work each charity does.” Peter Milligan, owner and manager of The Filling Station Pub & Grill, said in the release.

“We were happy to partner with these local nonprofits that support numerous causes in our community. The community came out to support these organizations and we are happy to be able to provide great contributions to these organizations as we appreciate their work and all they do and support provided for the community.”
