Local non-profit Big Hearts of the Fox Valley is having a fundraiser tonight at Wahlburgers in St. Charles.
Big Hearts of the Fox Valley is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is dedicated to making a difference in our own community by brightening the lives of D303 children affected by financial hardship at Christmas time and throughout the school year.
Big Hearts seeks help to ensure the low-income children in the community have warm coats to wear during the upcoming cold days, wake up with gifts under their tree and have what they need every day to help them be successful in school.
In support of this objective, the popular Wahlburgers in St. Charles will be donating a portion of today's sales to Big Hearts.
Other ways to help:
- Bring in a new unwrapped toy to one of the many locations around town collecting items for the Holiday Toy Drive.
