Des Plaines Movers Collect Paper Products

Lauren Munson, Neighbor

This year’s 4th of July Parade in Des Plaines, Ill. was filled with hundreds of excited children and their families. The parade was a wonderful opportunity for businesses and organization of Des Plaines to get together and celebrate their city, their country and finally the beautiful weather!

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Des Plaines/Chicago teamed up with the Self-Help Closet & Pantry of Des Plaines, Ill. to collect paper products during the parade to benefit the pantry. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK'S mascot "Truckie" even made the event!

If you missed the chance to donate during the parade, the Self-Help Closet & Pantry has an upcoming fundraiser.  “Putt for the Pantry” will take place Friday, August 2nd from 5pm-7pm at Mini-Golf at Mountain View Mine in Des Plaines. We hope to see you there!
