The Bureau County Metro Center contributed to local community efforts this season.

The Senior Giving Tree, located in the Metro Center lobby, facilitated the collection of much-needed items for the Bureau County Senior Citizens Center.

“We are incredibly grateful for the generosity and kindness shown by our employees, members and guests,” Executive Director Tammy Lange said. “Their heartfelt donations make a significant impact on our community.”

In addition to the Senior Giving Tree, the Metro Center also supported the Princeton Lions Club Holiday Food Drive for the Bureau County Food Pantry and Bureau County Christmas for Kids.
