Cooper's Hawk Winery Hosts Second Annual Food Drive

September 17, 2018

For the second year in a row, the employees at Cooper's Hawk Winery in Burr Ridge, IL held a food drive to help fight hunger in their community!

The front and back of house staff were encouraged to bring in donations of non-perishable food -- such as peanut butter, tuna fish, and pasta -- throughout the entire month of August. For every 10 items donated, team members would receive 10 dollars in Cooper's Hawk Winery credits! Nearly 100 lbs. of food were donated, which will provide 75 meals for their neighbors in need!

Our friends from Boerman Moving & Storage, a Bekins agent, once again helped to make the event possible by providing collection boxes AND volunteering to deliver all of the donations to the West Suburban Community Pantry.

More than 1.4 million people in Illinois are food insecure, including 1 in 7 children. Thank you to everyone at Cooper's Hawk Winery and Boerman Moving & Storage for continuing to support our fight to end hunger!
