In January, the community of Bensenville jumped at an opportunity to vaccinate our most vulnerable residents. This effort was a monumental collaboration between all local taxing bodies. The successfully organized event allowed nearly 1,500 at-risk people to receive the vaccine.

Fenton gives thanks to the community member who generously bought donuts for our vaccination event volunteers. We appreciate your thoughtfulness.
