Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant in Burr Ridge, IL, hosted an employee food drive during Hunger Action Month. From September 11-24, employees were encouraged to donate non-perishable food items, such as rice, pasta, peanut butter, canned tuna, cereal, canned soups, and canned fruits/vegetables to help provide meals for their neighbors in need. The team was able to collect 115 pounds of food, which is enough to provide 95 meals!
Boerman Moving & Storage, a Bekins agent, generously provided boxes for the event AND volunteered to deliver all of the donations to the West Suburban Community Pantry.
More than 500,000 people, including 1 in 6 children, in Illinois face hunger each day. Thank you to everyone at Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant and Boerman Moving & Storage for taking action!
