On Nov. 17, a tornado hit Washington, Ill. that ruined houses and tore families apart. Many families have nothing left but their family and friends. In order to give back to their community, Antioch Community High School is accepting donations for the families that were hit by the tornado.

Durham Bus Company is coordinating a collection of the donation. They plan to fill a bus with the donations for Washington, Ill. on Dec. 7. There is a donation box located in the main office and will be collecting donations all of next week. Items will be picked up from Antioch High School on Dec. 7. Students can either drop donations off in the box or can leave their donations with their bus drivers.

Non-perishable items that are needed include:
