Food and Fund Drive

WBA IT Infrastructure

Upcoming Food Drive 12/4/2023 - 12/15/2023

IT Infrastructure Engagement is sponsoring our 5th Annual* Food Drive, based at the Deerfield campus, from December 4 through December 15, 2023

We selected these two weeks specifically because most of our teams will be making a point to gather together at the Deerfield office during this time to celebrate the accomplishments of the past year, share good wishes and holiday cheer, as well as collaborate on plans for the upcoming months in the new year ahead.

 

Drop-off locations are in the 102 and 104 Wilmot buildings. 

 

Please consider taking the opportunity to "clear your pantry" of any unused items before they go stale and donate them to our neighbors in need! 

 

THE MOST NEEDED ITEMS are Peanut Butter, Canned Tuna/Chicken (in water), Whole Grain Pasta and Rice, Cereal and Oatmeal, Dried Beans and Lentils, Canned Fruits (in juice), Low/Reduced-Sodium Soups, Sauces and Vegetables, Pasta Sauce, Spices and Seasonings. No Glass Jars, please.

 

IN ADDITION, HOLIDAY-RELATED ITEMS are Dry Stuffing Mix, Canned Cranberry Sauce, Canned Whole Kernel Corn, Canned Green Beans, Dry Hot Cocoa Mix, Turkey Gravy Packets, Boxed Mashed Potatoes, Canned Yams/Sweet Potatoes, Boxed Dessert Mixes/Kits, plus increased demand for Dry Pinto Beans/Canned Beans, White/Brown Rice, and Canned Fruit in Juice 

 

OR...  Perhaps you'd prefer to use our "Virtual Option" instead. 

 

*Resuming from the 4th Annual in 2019, since COVID put us on hiatus. 

WBA IT Infrastructure Food Drive "Virtual Option"

We're hosting a Food Drive and this is our "Virtual Option" to help solve hunger in Northern Illinois!  This fundraising page provides an alternative for our team members who want to help but would rather not carry items into the office, don't have the time or energy to do so, can't be here in person, or just prefer the simplicity of donating money (it's tax deductible)!

 

The Food Bank has been responding to the increased need in our communities, which remains elevated due to the effects of COVID-19

 

Join us in making a difference in the lives of the thousands of people in Northern Illinois who are hungry. The funds we raise will stay right here, in our backyard, and will fill an empty plate of a neighbor. 

 

Your Donation Makes an Impact:

  + Every $1 donated helps provide $8 worth of groceries for neighbors in need

  + 97% of the Food Bank's resources go to programs that feed neighbors in need

  + The Food Bank serves 13 counties in Northern Illinois.

 

Supporting the Food Bank with a donation will build hope for a family in our community.  Every donation makes a difference!  

 

Thanks in advance!

 

UPDATE:  8 BAGS of non-perishable food items were collected at the Deerfield office and happily accepted by the Food Bank team at the Lake Forest Distribution Center on 12/21/2023.  If you missed the opportunity to donate and still want to help our neighbors in need, you can go directly to the Distribution Center at 13950 Business Center Drive, or take donations to your nearest food pantry.  Look them up at this link - Get Groceries & Resources - Northern Illinois Food Bank (solvehungertoday.org) 

 

Or, if you prefer, you can click the link to the right and Donate online.  The Food Bank can always use cash to purchase items to fill in the "gaps."
