Make a Difference Day Food Drive 2012

Sponsored by Hoffman Estates Jaycees

As part of the nationally recognized Make a Difference Day, the Hoffman Estates Jaycees will be collecting canned and nonperishable goods for the 10th year in a row! The food and other items collected will benefit the Schaumburg Township Food Pantry. The Jaycees will be at Valli Produce -- stop by and support them with a donation or volunteer to Make a Difference!

Residents have been very generous, and the Jaycees always leave with a truckload. The food pantry appreciates the donations, as pantry levels do get low.

Make A Difference Day is the most encompassing national day of helping others -- a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors. Everyone can participate. Created by USA WEEKEND Magazine, Make A Difference Day is an annual event that takes place on the fourth Saturday of every October. Millions have participated.

The Hoffman Estates Chapter of the Jaycees is one of the 1,000 local chapters in the United States. The Jaycees are an international organization with over 200,000 members in more than 100 countries around the world. They provide individuals between the ages of 21 and 40 the opportunity to network and develop personal and leadership skills while serving their local community.
