With the help of Crown Relocations, all food donated will be delivered to the Glen Ellyn Food Pantry and the end of the food drive, and the food will help out the local families and residents. While all food donations are welcome, the most needed items are soups, rice, canned fruit, boxed meals, pasta, sauce, peanut butter, baby food, canned vegetables, fruit juice, and water.

                        

“Last year over six thousand pounds of food were collected,” says Adam Lowy, Executive Director of Move For Hunger. “We are excited to see how well they do this year.”
