Donate to WONC & Sharing Connections Spring Cleaning Drive

Join us in supporting Sharing Connections of Downers Grove in their mission to share good things with good people!

Spring is here, and that means it’s time to give your dorm room or home a good cleaning! Once you’ve done your spring cleaning, we need your help to collect clothing, kitchen items, small appliances, furniture and more to help those in need. And to make it easy, you can drop your donations off right at our studio at Oliver Hall, 232 E. Chicago Avenue in Naperville!
