In an effort to promote water conservation, five not-for-profit organizations working in collaboration with the Downers Grove Economic Development Corporation, Downers Grove Area Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Downtown Downers Grove Management Corporation have partnered to make rain barrels available to residents and businesses.
In addition to the rain barrel sales, local organizations and businesses around the community will be sponsoring a painted rain barrel. The sponsored rain barrels will be on display April 15 through June 1 and will be auctioned off at 10:30 a.m. on June 4, 2011 at the Downtown Downers Grove Market.
Proceeds from the auction will be distributed to the local YMCA. For more information, please follow the following link:
