Local business will share profits to support our neighbors in need

BLOOMINGDALE, Ill. (December 6, 2017) - Neighborhood Food Pantries, a local nonprofit dedicated to providing food security for local families in need, is excited to partners with Annie Occasion for Any Occasion (Annie's) for a year-end holiday campaign. Ten percent of all purchases made between Dec. 9-19, at the Gift Studio & Art Gallery at 148 S Bloomingdale Rd., Suite 110 in Bloomingdale (just behind Delish Cakes), including floral, food and gift items will be donated to NFP.

There are more than 68,000 food insecure individuals in DuPage County, almost half of which do not qualify for government assistance. These individuals rely on charities such as Neighborhood Food Pantries to meet their families' needs. NFP operates seven pantries throughout Northwest DuPage County, providing its guests with healthy foods, fresh produce, and staples to ensure a healthy future for DuPage families.

This is the third "Give Back" promotion that Annie's has offered for NFP's pantry guests, and owner Annie Kasak volunteered countless hours of time and effort to help plan the organization's annual HarvestFest dinner / auction this October, bringing her expertise, talents and contacts to be a part of a record-setting year for the event.

"As a designer, I embrace innovation, and I am passionate about my craft. I am also passionate about helping those in need, and I am very excited to help neighbors in my hometown of Bloomingdale and the surrounding area," says Annie Kasak.

"Neighborhood Food Pantries is excited to join forces with a local business who shares our passion to help our neighbors in need," says NFP Executive Director Tom Norton. "We are grateful for Annie's enthusiasm and generosity - support like this from the community is what Neighborhood Food Pantries is all about, and why we presented Annie with a "Good Neighbor Award" earlier this year."
