This January, the Chicagoland Apartment Association hosted a peanut butter & jelly food drive during their New Year's Kickoff Event at Morgan Manufacturing.
Peanut butter is highly requested by food banks because it's a great source of protein, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a nutritious, delicious meal for people of all ages!
The Chicagoland Apartment Association collected 270 lbs. of food during the event, which is enough to provide 225 meals! Our friends at MiniMoves and CORT Chicago were also a great help. MiniMoves donated the collection boxes for the event, and CORT Chicago picked up the food and delivered it to the Schaumburg Food Pantry.
More than 659,000 people in the Greater Chicago area are food insecure. Thank you to the Chicagoland Apartment Association, MiniMoves, and CORT Chicago for making a New Year's resolution to fight hunger!
