With the holidays around the corner, the new Valli Produce International Fresh Market Evanston, 1910 Dempster Street, Evanston, IL, is giving back to the community by hosting a bevy of exciting holiday events.

The first annual Valli Produce Evanston Holiday Food Drive in partnership with WLS-FM and local schools will take place December 9 through January 3, 2016. Donations of non-perishable items can be made at Valli Produce Evanston in the name of participating local schools that will compete to see who can bring in the most items, with the winning school receiving a $1000 prize. Come drop off items in each local school’s bin and help them win athletic supplies, computers or other options. All donations made during the Valli Produce Evanston Holiday Food Drive will be given to The Harvest Food Pantry in Evanston. WLS-FM’s Marti Jones will be broadcasting live from Valli Produce Evanston on Sunday, December 20 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. to help drive donations.

Guests will have the opportunity to purchase the celebrity chef’s wildly-popular cookbooks and get them signed for their own collection or to give as holiday gifts.
