Put your mark on the future of mygofer

The east side of Joliet needs recreation for our youth and adults.  We could accomplish a lot with making a couple of soccer fields.  It would improve the community help kids stay fit by playing and enjoy a popular and increasing sport in this area.  Their is a field on the east side of Joliet off of Woodruff next to the old prison its the perfect site.  You would accomplished beautify the area, providing a field for soccer and beautified an empty lot while also helping improving the east side...

A perfect way to make an investment in the youth of Joliet would be to create programs for disadvantaged children at the newly renovated University of St. Francis Rialto/City Center Campus. The space is designed for children to have a hands on opportunity to explore the visual arts with kilns, woodshops, photo studios and more. With the programs that could be created at the Rialto, children in Joliet could explore skills that will help them throughout their lives as well as develop and nurture...

A teacher at one of the schools in District 86 has been seeking donations of bean bag chairs so that she can host an after school reading club.  I noticed that MoGofer sells this product and thought they might be able to help out by donating a handful.  The club is scheduled to meet after school 3 weeks a month.  Kids and adults will be invited to drop in to read in a quiet, comfortable environment.  The school this program has been proposed at lost their use of the school library because an...

In light of recent economic stresses that have affected so many of our families, myself Jeff Peterson (PE/Health teacher) and Creekside Elementary School in Plainfield School District 202 will be launching its first ever Warmth for Winter campaign.  This campaign is designed to meet the needs of children in our learning community who has directly been affected by the economic downturn by providing them with gently used winter coats and new mittens, gloves, and hats.  We have received many donations...

Moblie Food Pantry is a traveling food pantry that delivers food directly to hungry people in need of food. The 35-foot truck carries nonperishable food, like rice, canned protein sources, pasta, and breakfast cereals, and also has refrigerated bays for fresh and frozen food, like vegetables, fruits, bread, red meat, poultry, pork, and seafood.

Clients can select food coming directly from the truck, thereby helping food pantries that lack adequate storage facilities for large quantities of food....

It would be great, especially in this tough ecomony, if MyGofer would start accepting manufacturer's coupons.

The Lions provide over 500 eye screenings each year to the disadvantaged citizens in Joliet and from that total we provided over 300 pairs of glasses and 50 hearing aids.  In addition we have diabetes and hearing bus units that we provide at NO cost to the taxpayers.  We provide support on a local basis to groups such as SOWIC which we've proudly supported for more than 10 years.  We are the oldest service club in Will County having been founded in 1921.  When we joined the group we accept the...

As the community is growing in Joliet and all of Will County, we need more support for women who are victims/survivors of domestic violence. One in four women are affected by domestic violence. Our system does not support women enough, and there needs to be a facility to do this. This program could be a part of Groundwork, expanding all that it currently does. They don't currently have the funding for this, but with this donation from mygofer, they would be able to provide this support group and...

I'd imagine that most people order the same items over and over each week or month.  It would be nice to be able to reuse a previous list as a jumping off point for my current shopping cart.

Can you start offering more every day perishable products, like milk, eggs, ice cream, etc.? It would be great to be able to completely eliminate runs to the local store (except for the late night ice cream cravings, of course).

Can you add an option for something like "carside to go" at the @kmart locations?  I'd love it if someone could run my order out to my car so I don't have to go inside.

There is an afterschool tutoring program called 'Platform Learning' that is available free of charge to elementary children.When the day ends at 6:30,this program even provides transportation home for the students, eliminating any issues for parents. While they are there, the students also receive a light meal / snack in a conducive learning environment. Platform Learning also provides the same tutoring opportunities for older children, but they are in dire need of transportation / transportation...

Have you ever considered offering pre-made school supplies baskets? Would love to be able to get school supplies already packaged for me. I am a Mom on the run.

I'd love to be able to swing in and grab a quick gift that's ready to go with a bag & maybe a card too.
