Annual Food Drive

Saturday, August 12, 2023 | 10am-Noon
Elgin Township Democrats

This year all of the proceeds will be going to:
Community Crisis Center Inc (www.crisiscenter.org)

Inflation hits the poor the hardest and makes their life very difficult. This means that they rely on the Food Banks even more. The BEST WAY to donate is to make a check out to CCC (Community Crisis Center) – OR – FFGA (Food for Greater Elgin) – OR – pick up a few extra items while you are at the store. Either way – early donations can be dropped off at my home – 2814 Beacon Point Cir.

1st – MONEY – MAKE CHECKS OUT TO “CCC”
