Spring Benefit -

Saturday, April 28, 2012

Each spring, The Woman’s Club of Evanston (WCE) hosts an annual, invitation only event for its members and the WCE’s community. This special annual event which includes dinner, dancing, a raffle, silent and live auction and more, is a fun way for our members and supporters to enjoy a great evening of entertainment while continuing to lend support to our funded agencies.  For 2012, the WCE has selected the Hillside Food Pantry as the beneficiary of this event.

About our beneficiary – Hillside

Food Pantry

Hillside Food Pantry began as an outreach ministry committed to an on-going effort to distribute "rescued food" to people in need.  Hillside Food Pantry also provides an opportunity for people from all walks of life to come together for a common purpose as a community of people helping people.  Since opening in a residential car garage in 2009, Hillside has grown its capacity for emergency food by using volunteer labor to construct a warehouse that stores and processes the growing amount of food needed in the community.  The number of people served and involved with Hillside has grown from May 2009 when a half dozen volunteers served 200 families the first month to the present with more than 100 volunteers serving 500 families a week.  

The community has embraced and supported the Pantry in so many ways, from holding canned food drives to providing skilled labor at little to no charge to help build an addition to the Pantry building.  As a result, Hillside Food Pantry has come to be much more than one church's effort to make a difference in our community.
