Community Harvest 2011

Welcome to Community Harvest 2011!!!! The Crystal Lake Chamber, Food Pantry and Jaycees are very excited to once again be kicking into gear all the Community Harvest Events that lead up to our big day on November 24th - Thanksgiving Day. Throughout the Fall Season, and especially shifting into high gear as of November 1st, we will be contacting local schools, churches, businesses and individuals to help us feed our fellow neighbors in the coming months.

We invite you to please be a part of our goal this year to raise 80,000 lbs of food and $25,000.00. Please consider a neighborhood, business or church food drive between November 1st and November 24th.

Monetary donations go a long way to help the Food Pantry to be a continued resource to their clients, many of whom may only need the help for a month or so while getting back on their feet. In 2010 the Crystal Lake Food Pantry helped 9,237 families, for a total of 31,278 people!

Food and monetary donations for the Pantry are gratefully accepted throughout the year, but are especially appreciated during Community Harvest season!

(Oct. 1st through Nov. 24th)

• Checks can be made payable to the Crystal Lake Food Pantry and mailed to P.O. Box 1071, Crystal Lake IL, 60039-1071

• Food donations can be made during Pantry hours; see clpantry.org

Thank you for your support!

The 2011 Community Harvest Committee is looking forward to another wonderful year with the help of wonderful people like you!!!!!
