Richton Park is participating in United Way's epic Food Drive, leading up to the “April Food Day” celebration April 7th. Support the cause by bringing your non-perishable food and items to the Village Hall & Community Center.
Local food pantries estimate the need for food and household goods has more than doubled in the past five years. The need is especially high in the spring and summer months as donations decrease and supplies diminish. Last year, we raised nearly 90,000lbs of non-perishable items locally, and had a blast doing it! This year, join us to help reach our GOAL OF 115,000 POUNDS of food and household goods for families and individuals throughout the Chicagoland region.
This year’s events are sponsored by the United Way, Tinley Park Convention Center, Chicago Southland, Chicago Southland Hotels, and One Voice Focused. Items that can
be donated include:
· 100% Fruit/Vegetable Juice
· Bagged Rice/Beans
· Canned Fruits/Vegetables
· Cereal/Oatmeal/Granola Bars
· Chips/Cookies/Crackers
· Canned Meats and Stews
· Peanut Butter & Jelly
· Toiletries
· Infant Supplies
· Laundry Detergent
