Fortunately, there's hope. Canned and non-perishable food donations have made the holidays a truly thankful and shared experience for many residents in the Lombard and Villa Park area.
People can be very generous, they get into the spirit of giving.
They realize the needs of other people in the world. In the past, people have donated turkey meals and even whole dinners to needy families, Allenson said. While the pantry recently received truckloads of food from food drives by Ardmore School and other local organizations, it is still asking citizens to donate during the holidays. We never refuse food. The more we get, the more we can give.
