A parade of giving

CHRIS FOX PHOTOS

The Lombard Fire Department held its annual toy drive and parade on Saturday, Dec. 14. Members of the fire department, joined by Lombard Village President Keith Giagnorio, Santa Claus and others, traveled southbound on Main Street from St. Charles Road to Wilson Avenue. They collected donations of toys and other items along the parade route. The donations filled up two ambulances and a pickup truck. The donors included (bottom left) brothers (left to right) Michael and Alexander Jonsson of Lombard. They are pictured waving to Santa Claus. Another photo of young donors at the parade (bottom right) shows (clockwise from top) the Schreiber siblings of Lombard—Leighann, Jake and Riley.
