Bourbonnais, IL – Neighbors across Kankakee County are encouraged to take part in the 34th Annual Harvest Sunday this weekend, as youth from Maternity Parish organize one of the community’s longest-running food drives to support local food pantries.
According to event organizers, volunteers will begin neighborhood collections Sunday, November 9, starting at 9:00 a.m. Residents can participate by placing non-perishable food items on their front porch along with the official flyer.
Suggested donations include canned and boxed foods such as vegetables, fruits, soups, beans, mac and cheese, cereal, rice, and pasta. Household essentials like pancake mix, syrup, peanut butter, jelly, diapers, and paper products are also appreciated. All items should be new, unopened, and not expired.
The annual collection, hosted by the Youth of Maternity Parish, helps stock area food pantries ahead of the holiday season — a critical time for many families in need.
For more information or questions, community members can contact organizers by email at afierce@mbvm.org or by phone at 815-933-8285 ext. 335.
