Registration ends August 29th. To participate residents can:

• Donate money until Oct. 8th here: classy.org/team/175318
• Donate food to the Township of Schaumburg's food pantry at One Illinois Boulevard, Hoffman Estates, Illinois.
"Some families in our community must decide between paying for medication, utility bills, rent and food each month. Ultimately the Township's goal is to ensure no one goes hungry and participating in fundraisers like this walk help us move the needle." said Diana Nelson, Township of Schaumburg Associate Director of Program Support and Community Outreach. "We look forward to another successful walk to fight hunger."
This will be the fifth year the Township has participated in the Depository's walk. Financial donations help the pantry purchase food through the Greater Chicago Food Depository at a cheaper rate than residents can purchase on their own. The Township of Schaumburg's pantry assists nearly 700 households every month.
