The Giving Place seeking donations to help Unit 7 families
TOLONO - In addition food donations, The Giving Place is seeking kids clothing, especially for young boys, this month.
"The Giving Place started as a way for our church and other community churches to minister to the Unit 7 School District and help those in need," said Mike Williams.
