Annual Food Drive | Elgin Township Democrats
Aug 3 @ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm

This year all of the proceeds will be going to: ELGIN COOPERATIVE MINISTRIES – They run the Soup Kitchens

Inflation hits the poor the hardest and makes their life very difficult. This means that they rely on the Food Banks even more. The BEST WAY to donate is to make a check out to ECM (Elgin Cooperative Ministries) – OR – FFGA (Food for Greater Elgin) – OR – pick up a few extra items while you are at the store. Either way – early donations can be dropped off at the Tepe’s – 2814 Beacon Point Cir.

!!! WHAT THEY NEED MOST !!!
1st – MONEY – MAKE CHECKS OUT TO “ECM”
2nd – Pop top/easy open foods are best for homeless individuals
