Donation

This Christmas 30 needy families in Rockford will have a place to lay there head, all thanks to a local business donation of mattresses.

Thanks to several Rockford businesses, girls around the stateline will be able to look their prettiest for Homecoming, as they donated 1600 dresses to Becca's Closet.

The Rockford Rescue Mission received an unexpected, yet very welcomed, donation of $5,000 to reward them for all their work in the helping those in need.

It's hard to believe our summer is almost over and the kids will be heading back to school in a matters of a couple of weeks. Remember the excitement of going clothes shopping for news jeans and shoes for school?  For many children in the Rockford Public Schools back to school clothes shopping isn't in their families budget. You can help through buying new clothes and donating them to the Salvatio

The First National Bank and Trust along with Goodwill have set up a series of free electronics drive to recycle you're old and unwanted electronics.

Have you found yourself, like I have, overflowing with clothes that are ripped, have holes, or terribly faded? They're no good to pass on to wear again. Yet there's too many to rip up for cleaning or garage rags. Here's what you can do with them. Donate those holey clothes.
