8TH ANNUAL 'MARLEY PROJECT' HOLIDAY FOOD DRIVE

The Marley Project, an Illinois-Not-For-Profit Organization, is holding its 8th annual Holiday Food Drive for residents in need in Oak Forest and the surrounding communities. Non-perishable food donations will be accepted at Oak Forest City Hall, the Oak Forest Park District’s Central Park and Don Gorman locations, CNB Bank on 159th St. in Oak Forest and the Tinley Park Community Church.

All donations will be collected, weighed and delivered to local area food pantries to be distributed as needed to ensure a merrier holiday season for fellow citizens in need of a helping hand. The Marley Project will continue to support and help stock the shelves of St. Damian’s Food Pantry, The Tinley Park Food Pantry as well as Together We Cope.

Thank you in advance for your generosity to our cause and continued work. The Marley Project will be accepting donations through Friday, January 2, 2015.
