The Glen Ellyn Park District will host two community donation drives in January 2026 at Ackerman SFC (800 St. Charles Road) to support local food pantry and blood donation needs.

Attendees are encouraged to bring nonperishable food items and toiletries. A full list of the pantry’s current needs is available on their website at www.glenhousefoodpantry.org.

A blood drive is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Jan. 20 in partnership with Versiti Blood Center of Illinois. Community members are encouraged to schedule an appointment in advance online at https://donateblood.versiti.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/11628327.
