Schaumburg AM Rotary Helps Fill Thanksgiving Tables
 
Posted on Nov 24, 2025
 
When a representative of the Schaumburg Twp food pantry shared that they were in need of turkeys for Thanksgiving, Schaumburg AM Rotarians quickly stepped in. Club member Joe Sabatino reached out to Costco’s Schaumburg store, who generously donated a gift card. With it, our club was able to purchase 60 turkeys for this food pantry, ensuring that families in need could enjoy a holiday meal together. 
 
Monthly the Schaumburg Twp food pantry provides support to more than 1,300 families facing food insecurity. 
 
Thank you to Costco and Schaumburg store manager Brandon Peck for their generosity that made a difference!

As temperatures begin to drop, the Rotary Club of Schaumburg A.M. stepped up to ensure children in need in our community stay warm this winter.
 
In a heartwarming show of generosity, this club recently donated dozens of brand-new high quality winter coats to kids from families who are struggling to make ends meet. These children attend Schaumburg’s Brightpoint Marletta Darnall Child & Family Center that offers early childhood care and education for kids age 6 weeks to 5.
