As we begin a new year, the Illinois Valley Food Pantry would like to take a moment to thank all our wonderful businesses, schools, and organizations in our community for the wonderful support that was received during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. From sponsoring food drives to volunteering at the pantry for the holiday food basket distributions, the businesses and organizations in our community stepped up to help our families and individuals in need and hopefully, gave them a more enjoyable holiday season. The generosity was so overwhelmingly appreciated and we just had to share with everyone what a wonderful community we have in the Illinois Valley. A special THANK YOU!! goes to the LaSalle Police Department – Chief of Police Officer, Mike Smudzinski and his crew for their assistance with traffic control during the Thanksgiving and Christmas food basket distribution. Your assistance was so very much appreciated!
