HOPE Chest Needs Thanksgiving Help

-
The HOPE Chest recently learned their usual resource for Thanksgiving meals cannot assist them this year.  They need your help to supply these meals this year.

They average 250 to 300 families each year who come to The HOPE Chest for help during the Thanksgiving holiday season.

The HOPE Chest's HOPE Cupboard is interested in partnering with local businesses, churches, organizations or schools to provide for these families. If your group is interested in helping with all or part of their needs, please call the Pekin Store at (309) 620-9043 and ask for Aaron or Rhonda.
Items needed are canned hams, jar or canned gravy, canned vegetables, canned fruit, biscuit mix, pie crust mix, boxed pudding and/or canned pie filling and jello mix.

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.  A tax receipt can be given to qualifying businesses for your donation.
