Cooking, Baking Ingredients Sought For Sunrise Rotary Drive

NAPERVILLE, IL — Naperville Sunrise Rotary is hosting a Food Preparation Drive to help famlies in need get the cooking and baking ingredients to prepare meals ahead of the holidays. The donated items will be given to West Suburban Community Pantry.

These are some of the items sought for the Nov. 14 drive:

• Cooking oil
• Flour
• Sugar
• Spices

The items should be packaged and unopened.

“Most people don’t think to donate basic cooking items which families need to prepare healthy meals and holiday treats,” Deb Newman, Sunrise Rotary Community Service Chair, shared in a statement.

Newman added, “With the influx of items the Pantry is receiving, limiting our drive to a few types of items not only provides cooking options, but helps Pantry volunteers with sorting and shelving during this busy time.”

Residents can donate items at the Food Preparation Drive or stop by West Suburban Community Pantry, 6809 Hobson Valley Dr., Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. to drop off their donations.

What: Food Preparation Drive to benefit West Suburban Community Pantry

When: Nov. 14 from 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m.
