Please call us before making your donation because there is always the chance that we may not be able to accept your in-kind contribution at this time. You may call Cheryl Wendt at 847-608-5017 ext. 119. Also please understand that for tax purposes, the Boys & Girls Club of Elgin will issue a donation letter for in-kind donations, but the Club will never place a value on those donations. We encourage you to work with your accountant to place a value on your donated items.
