Last Call for Donations to Palatine Food Drive

The annual Palatine Food Drive will end as employees of Lavelle Law, Ltd and other volunteers pick up the final donations from across the community on November 20th. Multiple pick-ups have already occurred but donations of non-perishable food, diapers and formula are still needed to assist the Palatine Township Food Pantry.

"Everyone's lives will get much busier in the next few weeks so we hope local residents will take the time perhaps over the weekend to pick up a few extra items at the store and drop them off at one of our donation sites," said Food Drive Coordinator Jackie Lindert. "There remains a great need throughout the community and we want to maximize our contributions to the Food Pantry this year." Joining the staff and volunteers as final collections are made on the 20th will be Illinois State Senator Laura Murphy (D-28).
