During the last month, Palatine residents continued to show incredible generosity in giving to local non-profit organizations and families in need.

Anonymous donors gave hundreds of coats to support Palatine Assistance Through Hope (P.A.T.H), a local non-profit organization. One resident in particular, Madison Russell, a Fremd High School student, conducted her own coat drive and collected dozens of coats from her neighborhood to support this cause.

Residents also donated abundant amounts of clothing and toys to bring joy and cheer to children in our community. This was in response to the Palatine Police Social Services Unit’s Holiday Helper Program.

The Palatine Police Department wishes to express its gratitude to the residents who stepped up to make this year a little brighter.
