PALOS PARK, IL — If you do anything this holiday season, support your local food pantry. With food insecurity and SNAP benefits still in limbo, demand is surging at community food pantries.

Palos Park Police Cadets are holding their annual holiday drive. From now until Jan. 1, donations of non-perishable food items will be accepted at the Palos Park Police Department, 8999 W. 123rd St.

All donations will be distributed to families from the greater southwest suburban area. To request a pick-up and more information, please call 708-671-3770 or email Jmiller@palospark.org
