11th Annual Christmas Tree Festival continues in Rochelle this week. All proceeds raised from the event will benefit the Hub City Senior Center and The Kitchen Table.
The Kitchen Table is a local, charitable organization serving nutritious meals to anyone regardless of their ability to pay. The organization will use their portion of the funds to go toward the purchase of a walk-in cooler with a cost of $7,500.
The Hub City Senior Center, located in Downtown Rochelle, provides social activities and resources for our local senior citizen community. The Senior Center plans to use their portion of the funds to replace their outside doors at a cost of $2,750.
To help us support these wonderful local causes, businesses, organizations and individuals have donated decorated table-top trees, wreaths, swags and gift baskets.
Visitors to City Hall can bid on these items starting on Monday. Bidding ends Friday evening at 6:30 during the Christmas Walk festivities.
