Now through January 22, you can help Chicagoan stay warm this winter!  There are Coat Drive donation boxes located in the Wacker & Franklin lobbies for you to donate coats, boots/shoes, scarves, hats, gloves and mittens.  Donations will be distributed through the assistance of the YMCA.

Together, in the annual Toy Drive this December, we filled 14 boxes with toys that were donated to the Walter & Connie Payton Foundation for distribution to local children.  Thank you for bringing smiles to children’s faces this holiday season!
