Feinstein Challenge

From the OPRF Food Pantry:
Each spring philanthropist Alan Shawn Feinstein challenges food agencies across America
to collect as many food items and cash donations as possible. To spur donations, 
Feinstein donates $1 million dollars to feed the hungry. Those funds are divided 
proportionally among competing food pantries based on the total number of donations 
(monetary and food donations) during the months of March and April.

People in our community are hungry. Last year there were over 40,000 “reasons” for your 
help—that’s how many people the Oak Park River Forest Food Pantry served in 2013.

Pickup from homerooms will be Thursday, April 17.  Monetary donations also accepted!
