ANNOUNCING C.I.T.Y. OF SUPPORT’S
GENERO-C.I.T.Y. TOY SHOP OUR FIRST PHYSICAL LOCATION IN THE COMMUNITY 91 W. Rand Rd. Arlington Heights, 60004 (same shopping center as Trader Joe’s) This exciting milestone is bringing us one step closer to our goal of creating a robust C.I.T.Y. Welcome Center! And after the success of our holiday pop-up shop, we were given the opportunity to extend our lease at this location for 6 months! So, we are following in the footsteps of other established nonprofit organizations and moving forward in establishing a welcoming shop for the whole community that sells quality re-sale merchandise. With all the proceeds going back to C.I.T.Y. of Support, we hope this will cultivate an ongoing stream of revenue that supports our current efforts and future plans. After a decade of devoting thousands of volunteer hours to the development and growth of C.I.T.Y. of Support, we are happy to share that Beth Deiter has been officially hired as our Executive Director. She will now have the time & resources needed to manage the organization’s year-round programming while also overseeing this exciting new endeavor.
