| Thank you for your support |
We had a wonderful outpouring of support from our community for our food pantry. The pantry is well-stocked due to all the food drives by schools, scouts, businesses, churches and community groups. These programs are so successful due to our caring and generous community. Thank you to everyone who participated!
Thank you to everyone who came out on Tuesday, December 30 to help sort our food donations. We estimate we sorted over 5000 pounds of food. We had many more volunteers than I expected and I appreciate each and every one of you!
There was a very nice article in the paper about the event. Click here
If you know of people in our community in need of food, please tell them we have a food pantry. |

If you have used towels, sheets or blankets that need to be recycled, please consider bringing them to Fremont Township at 22385 Rt 60, Mundelein to be donated to local Animal Shelters. Please drop them in the bin on the front porch. This keeps them out of the landfill and puts them to good use.
We also accept eye glasses and shoes to be recycled year round. |
