Nov. 18: Deadline for Gift from Home to Service Members

Aurora residents can still show their appreciation to local military men and women by sending them “Gifts from Home” during the holidays.

The City will send a one-pound gift box of mixed nuts along with a holiday greeting card from the community to active Aurora military members at home or abroad. Families wanting to participate in the program need to provide the following information to send a gift:

· The name of the active service man or woman;

· Rank;

· Complete military address as it should appear line-by-line; and

· A home address in Aurora.

The submission deadline to send a gift is Friday, Nov. 18. To send a gift or for more information, call the Sara Townsend in the City’s Community Services Department at 630-256-3400 or email her at stownsend@aurora-il.org.
