Firehouse Food Fight

The Naperville fire stations are battling it out to see who can collect the most donations this holiday season. The Northside and Southside stations’ friendly competition includes gathering food, personal care items, and gently used winter clothing. Items from the community can be dropped off at multiple fire stations until December 20. This year’s donations will benefit Loaves & Fishes, Sharing Connections, and District 204’s Holiday Giving Program.
