Northwestern College's Rosemont Administrative Staff Initiate Food Drive to Benefit Food Pantry at Our Lady of Hope Church

[Rosemont, IL]  Northwestern College’s Rosemont Administrative Office is kicking off a one week food drive next week (November 18-22) within the Cisco Building where it operates, located at 9501 Technology Drive, across from the Rosemont Theater.  The food drive is intended to benefit the Food Pantry at Our Lady of Hope Catholic Church in Rosemont.  While Northwestern College has hosted similar food drives during the nearly ten years it has operated in Rosemont, this is the College’s first attempt at expanding its reach of donors to include all of the tenants in the building. 
Collection of non-perishable food will begin on Monday with donation boxes in the downstairs mail area of the Cisco Building as well as within Northwestern College’s 4th floor offices. Donors are encouraged to drop off any canned goods, packaged pasta dinners, stuffing, peanut butter, jelly, baby food, cookies/packaged snacks during the five day drive which will conclude Friday, November 22.  Michelle Garnett, Northwestern College’s Office Manager, is spearheading the efforts on behalf of the College in Rosemont. 
Northwestern College will deliver all donations to Our Lady of Hope Catholic Church (9711 W. Devon Avenue, Rosemont) on Monday, November 25th to be utilized for the Church’s Thanksgiving Baskets which will be distributed to needy families within the community.
