Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 7th of April.
Good morning, Naperville.
In April, the Fry Family YMCA invites Naperville residents to join a wide range of volunteer opportunities that support youth sports and family programs—local leaders have already started volunteering and more roles are available at Y centers.
Yesterday, a volunteer at Loaves and Fishes handed a client a carton of eggs to show how nearly 60% higher egg prices and overall food cost increases have tightened household budgets in our community.
The charity will hold a food drive on May 10 to help meet growing demand—support is needed as families struggle to afford essentials.
Naper Settlement in Naperville is hosting several events in April including the 'Farm Forward' photography exhibit during regular hours and a Family STEM Night on April 10 from 6—7 p.m., a history workshop for middle school teachers on April 12, a downtown architecture tour on April 17, and an adult Craft by Beer session on April 24. The museum is open Tuesday–Friday from 10 a.m.—4 p.m. with admission fees from $4 to $6 and free entry for Naperville residents with proof, children under 4, and members.
At Turning Pointe Autism Foundation, which marks Autism Acceptance Month in April, the organization offers programs that support individuals with autism through education, employment, and community resources.
The foundation provides services such as CN Day School (serving students 5 to 21), adult programs, monthly social groups, research partnerships with Northern Illinois University and BlinkLab, and sibling support to help families access resources.
