River Forest Township is hosting a Senior Picnic and Potluck on Saturday, July 12 from 11A-1P at Priory Park (7354 Division, River Forest). This is a free event to bring our senior community together but all are welcome to attend. We will provide catered sandwiches from Opportunity Knocks, utensils,  and water and ask everyone to bring either an appetizer, side dish or dessert to share. When you arrive, you'll get a name tag and a label to place with your food to indicate any possible allergens. In the event of rain, we will relocate to the River Forest Civic Center (8020 Madison St.).

River Forest Civic Center Authority (RFCCA) is the owner and manager of the building at 8020 Madison Street. The RFCCA Building currently is home to River Forest Township’s offices, River Forest Community Center, Opportunity Knocks, D200 CITE Program and more. RFCCA is working to make sure the building has the needed capital to be a vibrant space for the community for the next 30 years through its agreements with the tenants. Join us on July 15th at 7PM at 8020 Madison Street, 2nd Floor, River Forest where all are welcome to voice their opinion on the future of the building.

We are seeking school supplies for youth in Oak Park-River Forest to benefit Pre-K to high school. Please only donate new items. Folders, rulers, scissors, notebooks, crayons, sharpies, pencils, highlighters, erasers, glues, and backpacks are the needed supplies. Drop off your donations at either the Oak Park or River Forest Township Office, Village Hall, or at the River Forest Public Library.
