Food & Toy Holiday Drive

The Irving Park Community Food Pantry needs donations for its annual holiday food and toy distribution on December 15th. Needed are juice, stuffing, cranberry sauce, canned yams and vegetables, instant potatoes, cake mixes and pumpkin-pie filling. Monetary donations will help us supplement these donations and provide gift certificates so our largest families can buy a turkey to complete their meal. We also need contributions of new toys, books and games suitable for any age infant to 12 years old. They should be unwrapped and can be dropped off on the lower level of Irving Park United Methodist Church (3801 N. Keeler, enter at the Grace Street door and go down the steps). Toys also can be dropped off at: Irving Park YMCA -- 4251 W. Irving Park Irving Park Baptist Church -- 4401 W. Irving Park Irving Park Lutheran Church -- 3939 W. Belle Plaine St. John's Episcopal Church -- 3857 N. Kostner Mt. Olive Evangelical Church -- 3850 N. Tripp For more information, contact John Psiharis at 773/283-6296 or info@irvingparkfoodpantry.org.
