Social Services Closet

To assist the community, the police department maintains a closet stocked with essential items that can be distributed to residents with emergent needs.

Currently, the department is looking for the community’s assistance in stocking the closet. Donations can be made online through the department’s Amazon Wish list. Any items ordered from this list will be delivered directly to the police department’s social services unit. Police and social workers will distribute these items when they assist individuals and families with emergency needs. For more information about receiving services or donating, contact Kristin Jordan at kjordan@schaumburg.com or dial 311 in Schaumburg.
