In an attempt
to beat our 2012 donation total, Central Collision Center aims to
collect 3,000 items from Nov. 1st to Nov. 20th in our annual
Thanksgiving food drive benefitting Alicia’s House Food Pantry.
Last year,
Central Collision collected 1,365 donations from employees, customers and
business partners. After the company’s 100% match, Central Collision
donated 2,730 items to Alicia’s House. The company will provide a 100% match again this year.
Donations can
be dropped off at Central Collision’s offices in Peotone, Mokena, Crete, New Lenox,
Oak Forest and Tinley Park, Ill. from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. In
addition to non-perishable food items, the company is also requesting unopened
toiletry donations.
Alicia’s
House Food Pantry, a 501c3 non-profit, works to alleviate hunger by providing
food at no cost to low income residents of Crete, Beecher, Steger, Monee,
Peotone, University Park and South Chicago Heights. Located at 17 Paulsen
Avenue in South Chicago Heights, Alicia’s House Food Pantry accepts food,
clothing and toiletry donations year-round.
