Robbins announces holiday services: toy drive, photos with Santa, LIHEAP and youth events
Summary
The Robbins meeting highlighted community resources and events: a police toy drive accepting new toys through Dec. 20, photos with Santa Dec. 21, LIHEAP openings for eligible Cook County residents, and youth events sponsored by District 218 in late December and early January.
During communications and announcements the board publicized several community services and seasonal events. The Robbins Police Department’s first annual toy drive was accepting donations of new toys through Dec. 20 with drop-off times 9 a.m.–7 p.m.; photos with Santa were scheduled for Dec. 21 from 5–7 p.m. at 3323 W. 137th Street. The Robbins Fire Department offered assistance to residents seeking free smoke-detector installation, and LIHEAP began accepting applications for income-eligible Cook County residents as of Dec. 1 (phone 800-571-2332).
High School District 218 is sponsoring a Robbins and Blue Island holiday gathering Dec. 27 at Eagles Bowling Alley (students must present school ID). A "Teen Talk" session is set for Jan. 3 at the Robbins Community Center with vendors and college and career readiness supports; organizers requested interested parties email Danita.allen@chsd218.org for more information. The minutes also noted a "Chat with the Chief" public safety forum scheduled for Jan. 16 at the police department.
Announcements in the minutes were presented as community notices; the meeting did not record formal board action on these items.
