BOMA/Chicago to Partner with Greater Chicago Food Depository for Holiday Food Drive
|
|
For the second year in a row, BOMA/Chicago and the Greater Chicago Food Depository will partner for a holilday food drive.
Last year's drive included 38 BOMA/Chicago participating buildings and collected 4,531 lbs. of food--enough to provide 3,407 meals to needy Chicagoans.
This year's drive is scheduled to run from Monday, November 23 through Friday, December 11.
BOMA/Chicago and the Greater Chicago Food Depository will supply your building with a collection barrel for your lobby and will pick up the collected food. Please consider opening your building's lobby this holiday season for tenants to contribute to this drive.
The current plan is to deliver the food container barrels on Saturday, November 21st and pick them up on Saturday, December 12th.
With the help of BOMA/Chicago's Building Members, Affiliate Members, and the 8,000 businesses housed in member buildings, BOMA/Chicago can make a sizeable difference in the food collection for the Greater Chicago Food Depository this holiday season.
If you would like your building to participate in this year's event, or if you would like more information, please contact Matt Smith in the BOMA/Chicago office at msmith@bomachicago.org or call 312/780-9608. Additional promotional materials will be provided for each participating building.
Close to 500,000 people each year rely on emergency and supplemental food provided by the Food Depository and its member network of almost 600 food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters. For more information, please visit www.ChicagosFoodBank.org.
