Food Pantry
Letter From the Volunteer Director, Mr. Larry Buchenau:
September, 2014
I would like to make an appeal to the Ministerial Association to appeal for food donations. Such as canned vegetables, cereals, soup, pasta, pancake mix and cake mix. I also have an another appeal for a larger pantry, more space is needed. We have the smallest pantry in the Northern Illinois Food Bank area. Please Help. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Larry at 815-541-4625 or 815-369-4625. Further please contact him with donations you may raise as well as if you have a family in need of food.
