Lockport, IL – The Lockport Fire Protection District is once again rallying the community to help local families this Thanksgiving season. The department will host its Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive on Sunday, November 2, from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
According to the Fire District, volunteers will be stationed outside Jewel-Osco locations in Romeoville and Lockport, collecting nonperishable food donations throughout the day. All contributions will go toward assisting families in need across the district’s coverage area.
The department said additional details, including volunteer signup information, will be released soon. The annual drive has become a long-standing community effort to support local households and ensure no family goes without a meal this holiday season.
Residents are encouraged to donate items such as canned goods, boxed pasta, rice, cereal, peanut butter, and other shelf-stable foods. Even small contributions, organizers noted, can make a big difference.
“Together, we make a difference,” the department said in its announcement.
