Volunteers Needed for Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive

Volunteers needed Sunday November 8th and 15th

From last Sunday through the day before Thanksgiving, the second annual citywide Holiday Food Drive to benefit the Aurora Area Interfaith Food Pantry is underway and in full gear.

The Marie Wilkinson Food Pantry has been invited to participate in this years event. We are stoked!

The Marie Wilkinson Food Pantry is asking for volunteers to work shifts on Sunday, November 8th and Sunday, November 15th at either Prisco’s Finer Foods on Prarie Street or Cermaks Food Store on Lake Street to hand out pamphlets.

All food donated these two days will go directly to the Marie Wilkinson Food Pantry which is an incredible opportunity.

We will be at both stores from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm and we would like to break that into 2 shifts, 11:00-1:30 and 1:30-4:00. We will need 2 people for each shift at Prisco’s (4 total) and 3-4 people at Cermaks for each shift (6-8).

People wishing to help out on any given Sunday can contact Brian Dolan from Dolan & Murphy at (630) 801-8800. If you are making a donation, we hope you can stop by.

More volunteer opportunities

Other operations are also going on during this time. Volunteers are needed during the other days and small armies are needed to work at the warehouse from 5:30 pm to 7:30pm on Mondays and Wednesdays. For more information about these opportunities, call Marilyn Weisner, Interfaith Food Pantry director at Dolan & Murphy (630) 801-8800.
