Last but not least, we are collecting donations for Off the Street Club's Camp Closet. OTSC has a summer camp located in Wheaton IL, and most kids do not have the means to arrive at camp with the essentials (think sheets, swim suits, sunscreen, etc.). Therefore, the club hosts a "Camp Closet" where the kids can go shop for items needed for camp.

Please contact Charlotte Wegryzn with any questions regarding OTSC.
