Hannah Garcia+FollowChampaign’s Labor Day Parade launches new hygiene pantryThis year’s Labor Day Parade in downtown Champaign isn’t just about candy and fun—it’s also kicking off a new community pantry focused on hygiene essentials. The Council of Labor Union Women is collecting donations like period products, shampoo, and laundry detergent right at Neil Street Plaza after the parade. It’s a chance for everyone to pitch in and help neighbors who need these basics. Whether you’re heading to the parade for the music, food, or bounce houses, consider bringing along a few extra supplies to support this important cause. How do you think this new pantry could impact our community? #Safety #Champaign #LaborDayParade00Share
