URGENT UPDATE: The Streator Rotary Club has launched its annual coat and blanket drive, with collection efforts underway right now. This initiative benefits the Streator Salvation Army and aims to provide warmth to those in need as winter approaches.

Donations are being accepted at multiple locations throughout Streator, including the Salvation Army at 126 S. Bloomington St., the Streator Family YMCA, Kroger, and the Streator Onized Credit Union’s Northpoint branch. The drive will continue until Monday, Oct. 20.
