| For Immediate Release The Generous Spirit of the Sixth District Shines at Food Drive April 25, 2020 – The generosity of Illinois’ Sixth Congressional District was on full display this morning! Due to the unprecedented events of Covid-19, local food pantries have fallen short of volunteers while the number of families seeking assistance has increased. In response to the increased need, Jeanne Ives and her campaign set up a food drive in three locations throughout the district. Everyone staffing the food drive wore gloves and a mask, in keeping with CDC guidelines. Hundreds of items were collected to help restock food pantry shelves throughout the district. The drive took place on Saturday, April 25th from 9:00 a.m. -12:00 p.m. at: • Downers Grove Township Republicans, 1001 Curtiss Street Downers Grove• Ives for Congress, 703 Warrenville Road Wheaton• Palatine Township Republicans, 765 North Quentin Road Palatine “This truly is a generous and responsive community,” said Ives, Candidate for Congress (IL-06). “With only about a week’s notice, people rallied to help out their neighbors in need. We are grateful to all who donated and volunteered their time today!”          ###For more information or to book Jeanne Ives contact Kathleen Murphy at 630-329-4680 or kathleenemurphy26@gmail.com. |
