Palos Park, IL – The Palos Park Police Department is calling on residents to help support local families in need by donating non-perishable food items during its annual Food Drive, which runs through January 1.
According to the department, donations such as canned and boxed goods can be dropped off at several locations throughout the village, including the Palos Park Police Department at 8999 W. 123rd Street.
