Good morning, Naperville.

This month marks the 10th anniversary of the merger between Naperville CARES and Loaves & Fishes Community Services, which transformed how support is delivered locally.

Loaves & Fishes plans to expand CARES programs through the Nourish Together Campaign to meet growing community needs.

The Naperville Woman’s Club (129 years of service) marked its role during tough times (world wars, the pandemic) as America turns 250 by supporting families and preserving traditions at its longtime headquarters.

Naperville Park District reminds pet owners to keep dogs on a leash and always pick up after them in parks and on neighborhood trails.

Mutt Mitt stations are available at several sites to help residents maintain a clean public space.

Local artists will showcase works at the 3rd Annual Water Street Fine Art & Fine Crafts Show on Sunday, July 12.

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. along Water and Webster Streets in downtown Naperville — featuring live jazz, children’s street art and free parking.

Between July 2 and July 4, fierce storms brought heavy rains along the DuPage River that caused flash flooding, leading to cancelled Independence Day events and impassable roads and sidewalks through Sunday+ local officials advised residents to heed warnings and avoid flooded areas.
