University Park, IL – Local residents can receive free groceries this afternoon during a Food Drive–Drive Up hosted by the Village of University Park in partnership with Amazon.
According to organizers, the event runs Sunday, November 9, 2025, from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in front of the Mayor’s Office. Food items will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.
No registration is required to participate, but organizers note the drive is limited to University Park residents only, and a government-issued ID will be needed at check-in. Volunteers will be on-site to direct vehicles through the drive-up line to ensure smooth traffic flow.
“This is about helping our neighbors and supporting families who may need a little extra this season,” said event coordinator Kevin Battles.
