Student Meal Donation Program

Help prevent hunger in our community! The Chamber is partnering with Hunger Resource Network to provide supplemental meals for Northbrook children eligible for free or subsidized school lunches. We invite members to participate by donating one bag filled with the items listed below -- an approximate cost of $25-$30. Our goal is to collect at least 20 bags each month. The need is especially great during the holiday season when children are not receiving meals at school over winter break!

• Use a double-bagged, brown paper shopping bag with handles
• Content should all be packed in the same bag, which helps in transport and ensuring that each order is received in full
• Do not add items that are not on the list -- while your generous spirit is appreciated, the goals is for all children to receive the same items
• NO GLASS CONTAINERS PLEASE

• One 10-12 oz canned chicken
• One 10-12 oz canned tuna
• One 16 oz peanut butter (plastic jar, no trans/hydrogenated oils, low/no sugar added)
