   In January, the Village of Berkeley will once again partner with the American Legion Post 1016, St. Domitilla Parish, Proviso West High School and countless residents and local businesses to support an effort to provide for the basic needs of our American troops serving overseas. Assorted items and cash donations for the purchase of additional “basic needs” like baby wipes, socks , toothpaste and more will be accepted at the Berkeley Public Works building, located at 1201 Wolf Rd., Monday through Friday during regular hours.

   Donations will once again be sent through Berkeley’s Aguirre family where one of their four family members serving in the military will share our Village’s support with the troops they are serving with. Please feel free to contact the Village of Berkeley for further detail at (708) 449-8840.
