6th Annual Arlington Heights Food Drive Underway

For the 6th consecutive year, Lavelle Law Charities has organized the Arlington Heights Food Drive to benefit the Wheeling Township Food Pantry. Donation boxes have been set up throughout Arlington Heights and will accept donations of non-perishable food and other items such as diapers and baby formula through Friday, November 20th.

At the end of the event, the attorneys and staff at Lavelle Law will collect items and deliver them directly to the Wheeling Township Food Pantry which serves a growing number of families each month.

“Our presence has grown each year in Arlington Heights and we are counting on local residents to once again help us do what we can to stock the shelves at the Wheeling Township Food pantry to assist families in need this holiday season,” said Food Drive Coordinator Jackie Lindert.
