ROTARY CLUB HOLIDAY FOOD DRIVE

For over 25 years the Rotary Clubs of Buffalo Grove and Wheeling have collected food for families in need, in our towns. The food is distributed to local families for the Thanksgiving holidays. The current need has not been greater in those 25 years than it is now.

You can help by depositing non-perishable food in boxes at our collection sites. Those sites include: BG Village Hall, BG Fitness Center, BG Police Station, BG Park District Alcott Center, Continental Restaurant, Wheeling Park District Fitness Center, and the Edward Jones offices in BG and Wheeling.

Items needed most are: canned fruits and vegetables, dried beans, , mac & cheese, ramen noodles, canned soup, dry rice and pasta, boxed stuffing, cereal, and peanut butter & jelly.

Collections will be taking place through November 19.

Cash donations can be made payable to The Rotary Club of Buffalo Grove and mailed to Rotary, P.O. Box 5062, Buffalo Grove Il 60089.  On the memo line of your check please write "Food Baskets.

Thank you!
