'Christmas in July' Food Pantry Collection Starts This Week

The Evergreen Park Village Pantry is using the halfway point to Christmas as an opportunity to stock their shelves for the coming months. 

You can drop off donations at the Evergreen Bank Group, 3842 W. 95th Street, on Friday, July 26 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Saturday, July 27 from 8 a.m. to noon. 

Collection stations will be set up in the bank lobby and parking lot at 95th and Avers. If you want to give money directly to the pantry that would also be much appreciated.  Checks should be made payable to the Village Pantry Coalition, 3450 W. 97th Street, Evergreen Park, IL 60805.

The Village Pantry Coalition has been in operation since 1982 and assists Evergreen Park residents requiring temporary food assistance.

The Village of Evergreen Park has made available a few community videos on their website. One really great series is "EP Days Gone By" which features old 16mm camera footage shot of local events over 40 years ago. Visit the video player page and give it a watch.
