York PC 112: Support Local Food Pantries

Every time I hear something in conversation about food pantries, (and other charitable organizations) it's also said that they're facing incredible demand and are running through their supplies faster than they can be replaced.

This site will provide a listing for local food pantries by town or village: http://www.communityhungernetwork.org/AreaPantries/area.pantries.html

If everyone could consider donating $5-10.00 per month worth of canned goods or non-perishable boxed foods to these pantries, it would be a big help.

As kind as it is to give at the holidays, people go hungry in this economy year-round.
 
The closest pantry to York precinct 112 is:

York Township
   1502 S. Meyers Road
   Lombard, IL 60148
Diane Arturi
   630-620-2400
   Fax: 630-620-2422
Mon through Fri
   9 am - 11 am
Mon, Tue, Thu
   1 pm - 3 pm
York Township
30 days between visits
To receive a pantry card, need proof
   of residency, family member's
   Social Security cards & monthly
   income for all in household

Use USDA guidelines for monthly
   gross income


All the best, if you work and vote for it,

Dan
