Hundreds of Prospect Heights residents lost their homes in a fire last week at the River Trails Condominium complex. The fire affected three buildings, two of which are considered “total losses.”

Local organizations are now accepting donations to assist the affected residents. Please consider donating if you are able.

Monetary contributions can be made to the Chicago Red Cross; the Katie Samsel Fund, which supports School District 21 families; and the School District 214 Wheeling High School fund to support families of Wheeling High School.

If you have any questions, please contact Prospect Heights City Hall at 847-398-6070, ext. 206.
