EDS Food Drive

A while back, the EDS clients were looking for community volunteer opportunities. One of the ideas that the client council came up with was to participate in a food drive. Then along came The Festival of Trees event in Lake In the Hills. This event is to collect food for the Interfaith Food Pantry. The EDS clients thought that this was a great idea and quickly volunteered to be one of many local organizations to participate in tree contest.


Each EDS client made a personalized ornament with a special holiday message inside. Then, on November 29th, the EDS clients went out to the site and started decorating the Pioneer Tree.



Starting December 3rd, the EDS clients will collect non-perishable food items and cleaning supplies. On December 12th, the EDS clients will be turning in the items to count for their "votes". We would like to encourage our family and friends to donate a item or two. Items will be accepeted in the EDS classroom December 3rd thorugh December 7th.



For more information on the event, please see the Northwest Herald article below.
