Covenant Village residents give back to community
Staff Report
After a year full of knitting,
painting, sewing, carving and
much more, the residents at
Covenant Village of Northbrook
have helped to raise a total of
$6,200 to help several local organizations
in the greater community.
Recipients of the combined
donations included the Northbrook
Police Department,
Northbrook Fire Department,
Northbrook Library and the
Northfield Township Food Pantry.
“Giving donations to these
local organizations is just one
way we can show our appreciation
for everything they do
in our community,” said Joan
Mueller, Holly Fair Chairperson.
“Approximately 200 of
our residents worked on our
annual Holly Fair Weekend in
November, but many additional
residents worked throughout
the year in the craft room, the
woodworking shop, and sorting
and pricing collectibles and
books to make the Fair a success.”
Checks for the local organizations
were recently handed out
during a gathering at Covenant
Village which gives residents an
opportunity to personally thank
them for their service to the
community.
Other funds raised during
Holly Fair are used for employee
scholarships and resident life
enrichment programming.
