CREST HILL – In partnership with the city of Crest Hill, State Senator Meg Loughran Cappel will join representatives from the state treasurer’s office for an ICash event in Crest Hill on Saturday, April 22.

“People often don’t know that they have unclaimed property they can recover,” said Loughran Cappel (D-Shorewood). “I encourage residents to take advantage of this event to make sure they aren’t missing out on money that’s theirs at no cost.”

The free event is Saturday, April 22 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the White Oak Library District – Crest Hill Branch located at 20670 City Center Blvd. in Crest Hill.

Representatives with the treasurer’s office will be available to check if residents are owed any of the $3.5 billion in unclaimed property currently held by their office. Hundreds of people each year learn through the ICash program that they had money from old bank accounts, life insurance policies or other financial institutions that they had yet to collect.

If residents have questions about the event, Loughran Cappel urges them to contact her office at 815-267-6119.

“It’s important to give back to our community when we can,” said Loughran Cappel (D-Shorewood). “Donation drives often happen around the holidays, but people still need support year round. I encourage residents to donate so we can show our appreciation by providing a local organization with supplies so they can continue to help the people in our community who need it.”

Guardian Angel Community Services, located in Joliet, is a nonprofit organization serving children and families in need since 1897. The organization offers domestic violence, sexual assault, partner abuse intervention services and more.

Loughran Cappel’s office is collecting donations during the month of April at her district office located at 20660 Caton Farm Road, Unit D in Crest Hill.

Immediate needs include gift cards to Amazon, Dollar Tree, gas stations, local grocery stores and Walgreens, new or unused women’s underwear and sports bras sizes small to 3XL, and household and hygiene products, such as hand and dish soap, wipes, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, sponges, laundry detergent and general cleaning supplies.
