Residents of Cuba Township participated in a service event on May 14, 2024. The township distributed free compost provided by SWALCO, as well as mulch. This initiative was supported by the Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District and the Barrington Fire Department, who contributed to replenishing the Cuba Township Food Pantry.
Supervisor Chris Karam, Administrator "Ant" Simonian, and an unnamed participant assisted with the compost distribution. Trustee Tiffany Andreae and her husband managed the food pantry operations.
One of the participants humorously remarked about the compost pile: "Speaking of the compost pile, I just got back from Springfield so I’m very familiar with the aroma. But, at least this compost is making things grow in Illinois!"
