**Socially Distance**
**WEAR A FACE MASK**
**Remain In a Car At All Times**
**Walk-ups Will Not Be Served**

We're back at it again(socially distanced)! Given COVID-19 and the economic downturn, Jeff Turner - Together We Are Elgin and the Elgin Back to School Team find it even MORE important than ever before to provide the community with school supplies and food, just like in years past!

Now that we know school is returning this Fall, albeit mostly virtually, it's time to celebrate the end of the Summer and the beginning of the new school year! Our emphasis this year is on providing school supplies that are more conducive to virtual learning. First come, first serve.

Due to the pandemic and our responsibility of keeping people safe, we've decided to provide the event in the form of a drive-through. This means that participants will never need to leave their car and will literally be able to drive through the entire event to receive school supplies, food, and giveaways from our sponsors and vendors while listening to our DJ play your favorite hits.

Our vendors will be socially distanced from each other and all of them are required to wear a face mask and gloves.

In order to cut down on any possible contamination or transfer of germs, if you would like to donate backpacks or school supplies to this event, all donations will need to be purchased from a store and picked up there by an Elgin Back to School Team Member. Please contact Aaron Cobbs at cobbsal33@gmail.com and Keith Ligon at jeffligon29@gmail.com, if you have any questions or if you would like to make any school supply donation arrangements. Thank you in advance for your support!
We have limited room for vendors, but if you're interested in securing a booth, please contact Teresa Mascote at tmascote@me.com.

For all other inquiries please contact Councilman Dixon at (224) 717-6936.

From the hours of 12-4pm, the Elgin's Annual Back to School BBQ Bash is also a food and donation dropoff location for the Elgin Township Food Drive. All proceeds will go to the Elgin Cooperative Ministries(ECM). Donations by check should be made to ECM. Direct any questions to Vern Tepe - vernetepe@gmail.com or at (630) 632-9811.
