The Villa Park Police Benevolent Association (VPPBA) continued its annual tradition of partnering with G.M. Smith & Son Realtors (203 S. Villa Ave.) to support the business’s holiday food drive. Members of the VPPBA collected donations on Saturday, Dec. 11, outside of the Villa Park Jewel store at 33 E. St. Charles Road. Generous shoppers donated numerous items to the drive. Those items will be distributed to local families.
