Off The Street Club

We are collecting donations for Off the Street Club's Camp Closet. OTSC has a summer camp located in Wheaton, IL, and most kids do not have the means to arrive at camp with the essentials (think sheets, swimsuits, toothpaste, sunscreen, etc.). Therefore, the club has a closet at the camp full of our donations so that these deserving children can grab what they need and have the best summer camp experience possible!

CLICK HERE for the OTSC Camp Closet Amazon Wish list. Please note we also accept gently used items, which can be dropped off on the porch of 3910 Lawn Avenue.

Learn more about their summer camp HERE.

Please contact Charlotte Wegrzyn with any questions regarding OTSC.
