DOWNERS GROVE, IL - ‘Tis the season of giving, and giving back to the community!

The children from the Allendale Association were grateful for the many donations. Each year for the holidays, Perma-Seal contributes to a local charity or non-profit organization. For the past two years, the individual members of the Tribe have happily donated to the Allendale Association kids.
