Food Drive - Health Care for Caring

North Shore Natural Medicine (located in Glencoe) is having a Food Drive during the month of November.  New patients can donate 10 items to the Niles Food Pantry and in return will receive: a complete history and consultation with the doctor, a chiropractic examination, and report of findings.  Existing patients will receive a free AquaMassage. 
 
People are surprised to learn that even in our “affluent” communities there are many people, young, elderly and in-between, who do not have the resources to feed themselves or their families adequately. That is why the Niles Township Food Pantry exists – to aid those who need food, especially on an emergency basis. We want to make sure that every person has the food they need to sustain themselves and their families, so we  seeking donations to help the 3,000 individuals who use this pantry every month. With these bad economic times, the number of people who need the food pantry keeps increasing.

The Niles Food Pantry are in need of the following items: turkeys, hams, roasting chickens, canned fruit, bottled or canned juice, small jars of jelly, macaroni & cheese, peanut butter, canned soups, boxed pasta dishes, pasta, boxed rice dishes, mixed vegetables, canned tuna, stuffing mix, small jars of mayonnaise, small cans of coffee, small boxes of tea, crackers, packaged cookies, gravy (dry or liquid), pie shells (dry or frozen), pie fillings, and cake mixes.

We are also asking for donations of personal care items. Often, people who need food are also in need of other basic items for their daily personal needs. These items include: razors (men/women), shaving cream, aftershave, deodorant, shampoo and conditioner, soap, lotion, feminine hygiene products, tissues, toilet paper, laundry detergent, bleach, toothbrushes and toothpaste, and mouthwash. They are also in dire need of baby pampers of all sizes and diaper rash ointments.
