Kiwanis Club members donates $1,000 to pantry
A tradition of the Kiwanis Club of Lake Bluff & Lake Forest meetings is their "Food for Thought."
Each member brings a can of food and mentions something going on in their life. This not only brings the club members closer together, but the collected food is donated to the Phoenix Rising Foundation, the food pantry at Shields Township.
Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, Kiwanis has been holding its bimonthly meetings online and members have felt a loss without making their normal donation.
Knowing that the pantry shelves are being depleted, the Kiwanis members decided to make a $1,000 donation to Phoenix Rising Foundation to help restock their shelves. Kate Briand, board member at the pantry, was thrilled to receive the donation.
