Pantry to Fight Winter Hunger

EAST PEORIA — Beginning Nov. 1 ICC will be hosting a food pantry to collect food for those who may need it come December.

The Pantry will be sponsored by Sigma Kappa Delta, the Human Services Club and the ICC Intercultural Diversity Committee and will be intended to be source of sustenance for any underprivileged students.

Donations will be collected throughout November, and organizers hope to receive non-perishable, nourishing “items like meal helpers, pasta, peanut butter and canned meat.” Drop boxes will be placed at 12 locations across three campuses, including near East Peoria’s Student Lounge, Downtown’s Library and North’s Cedar 44 reception desk.

Food baskets will be distributed on Dec. 4, 5 and 6 in select ICC locations.

More information on the pantry can be found at www.facebook.com/iccfoodpantry or by contacting Joe Chianakas at joseph.chianakas@icc.edu or (309) 694-5548.
