In these tough times, affording the basic essentials--from food products to household items like shampoo and toothpaste--has become a struggle for many in our community. As unemployment rises, people who never before needed them are now turning to food pantries; The Greater Chicago Food Depository has seen a 35% increase from last year.
Now, all summer long Chicagoans will have the opportunity to contribute to the Greater Chicago Food Depository by dropping off non-perishable food items and household products during this entertaining concert series. Donation bins will be available at the Walgreens Booth located off Michigan Avenue at Pioneer Court.
