Chicagolandhalloween

Here is something else that is scary, but not in a fun way.

Hunger remains a serious issue for many residents of Illinois, as almost a
half-million people each year rely on food provided by the Greater Chicago
Food Depository's network of pantries, soup kitchens and shelters. Working
poor families, parents of young children and the elderly are among those who
need our assistance to not go hungry.

In 2009, Chicagolandhalloween.com is heading up the 2nd Annual "Haunts
Against Hunger" Food Drive with the Greater Chicago Food Depository. If it is
in your means, we will be taking donations of non-perishable food that will be
donated from October 17th to October 31st just in time to help families for
the Thanksgiving & Christmas season! Our headquarter drop site is at the
Worth Halloween House in Worth. To find our network of collections sites

If your decorated home or business is the Halloween hit of your area and you
would like to help provide food for hungry people in the Chicago metropolitan
area, we would love to have your home become part of the CLH "Haunts
Against Hunger" team and become a "Collection Haunt" (drop off point). To
become a "Collection Haunt" click the banner to the right to join the team!

This year we hope not only to entertain fellow Halloween lovers but to try
and help our community as well. You can too!

We need items high in protein canned meats, beef stew, chili and peanut
butter. Also needed are canned vegetables and fruits, rice, pasta and cereal.
With your help, we can restock the shelves with food for hungry people.
Thank you for joining us in the fight against hunger!
