1800 Logan Ave, Belvidere, IL 61008
It's that time of year again and we need your help more than ever. The current recession and the rise in unemployment are having a profound effect on the nation's food banks. It is my personal opinion that no one should go hungry in our society. So I am proud to announce we are holding our 3rd annual food drive. For your donation, we will be giving away an I-pod shuffle, $25 gas card, cervical pillow and other great items. We will also give special recognition to the person who brings in the greatest number of items. Thank you in advance for your participation.
