Food & Baby Items Drive This Saturday, 9 AM–1 PM at Notre Dame Parish

CLARENDON HILLS, IL — Notre Dame Parish and the IWS Family Health Clarendon Hills Chapter are partnering to host a Community Food & Baby Items Drive on Saturday, November 8, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The collection will take place in the Notre Dame Parish parking lot, located at 64 Norfolk Avenue (at Chicago Ave & Norfolk) in Clarendon Hills.

The drive will support local families in need of nutritious food and essential infant care supplies. Organizers emphasize that even small contributions make a meaningful difference, especially as community demand continues to rise.

Most-needed donation items include:

• Canned vegetables, fruits, meats & beans
• Rice, pasta, instant oatmeal & low-sugar cereals
• Peanut butter, jelly & pasta sauce
• Cooking oil, coffee & granola bars
• Diapers (sizes 4, 5 & 6), diaper wipes
• Children’s ibuprofen (not infant), Vitamin D drops, probiotics
• Eucerin, Cetaphil & Aveeno ointments
• Thermometers and basic household staples

A full list of accepted items appears on the event flyers.
Perishable items and monetary donations cannot be accepted.

Ways to Participate:

1. Drop off donations at the Notre Dame Parish parking lot during the event.
2. Purchase items online through the Amazon Wishlist: http://bit.ly/ndfoodpantry
3. Help spread the word by sharing the event flyer or posting to neighborhood groups.

Residents who may not have time to shop are encouraged to consider donating unopened items already in their home that they are unlikely to use — a simple and impactful way to help.

“Every donation, no matter how small, supports a family right here in our community,” organizers shared. “Thank you for your kindness and generosity.”
