ANNUAL CROW ISLAND FOOD DRIVE
The annual Crow Island Food Drive benefiting the New Trier Food Pantry will begin Monday November 16th through Friday, November 20th. Crow Island has become a major contributor to the New Trier Food Pantry and, now more than ever, supplies are very much needed and appreciated.
Items will be collected during morning drop-off at both the circle and Glendale Avenue drop-off points.
Current food item needs include:
- salad dressing/condiments
- cooking oil (olive, canola, vegetable, etc.)
- canned fruit and vegetables
- brown and white rice/rice mixes
- beans and other legumes
- peanut butter and jelly/jam
- healthy snacks (nuts, low sugar applesauce, granola bars, etc.)
- spices and seasonings
- stock/broth (chicken, beef, vegetable)
- flour/baking items
Current non-food item needs include:
- toothbrushes
- mouthwash
- dental floss
- ziploc-style bags
- cleaning supplies
- diapers (larger sizes) and baby wipes
- shampoo & conditioner
- body wash/bars of soap
- cleaning supplies
- aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and parchment paper
Please note: When possible, choose products that are in boxes, cans, or plastic bottles. All items should be in their original, unopened packaging, recently purchased, and in good condition. For safety and health reasons, we do not accept food that is a year past its “best used by” date.
