The Duneland Family YMCA is accepting donations of cases of bottled water to help provide families in the city of East Chicago with clean, safe drinking water. Thousands living in East Chicago, many of them children, can’t use their drinking water because it’s contaminated with high levels of lead and arsenic.
For distribution and storage purposes, only cases of bottled water can be accepted. Donated cases will be transported weekly to East Chicago. Your generosity will be deeply appreciated by the families living in this affected area.
Please drop off cases of bottled water at the Duneland Family YMCA, 215 Roosevelt St. or the Chesterton Fire Department at 702 Broadway. Both are open seven days a week. For more information, please contact Jane Delligatti at the Y, 926-4204 or Chief Jarka at CFD, 926-7162.
