Monday, July 1st to Wednesday, July 31st, 2025

From July 1st through July 31st, Franciscan Health Fitness Centers will be collecting school supplies for the Duneland School communities.

Help the kids kick off the school year well prepared with our Back-to-School Drive. Donate items to help kids fill their backpacks with much needed supplies.

Chesterton's school supplies will go to the Duneland School District. School supply lists will be located on the windows of Kid Zone to take as a reminder while you shop. Donations will be collected in a bin found in the Main Lobby of the Chesterton location.
