In recognition of “Local Government Week”, the Downers Grove Township will host an Open House, on Saturday, March 13, 2010 from 10 am to 2 pm at the Downers Grove Township building. The Township is located at 4340 Prince St. in Downers Grove. (2 blocks west of Main Street, and 1 block south of Ogden Avenue)

Residents are invited to come and see the office, meet the elected officials and office staff, and ask questions and/or bring their concerns. Snacks and refreshments will be served. You will also be able to view some of the Highway Equipment used to maintain the roads in unincorporated Downers Grove Township.

During the Open House we will again be collecting cell phones, eyeglasses and hearing aids. Please bring those with you to the Open House for recycling. After the Open House these items will be distributed to the appropriate organization for re-use. We will also be accepting worn American flags that will be taken to an American Legion and/or V.F.W. for proper disposal.

We will also be accepting non-perishable food items to be donated to the FISH Pantry. These donations can be brought to the Open House also. For additional information, please contact the Township Office at (630) 719-6610 or the Highway Dept. at (630) 719-6620.
