Christian Care Needs Your Help Feeding the Quad Cities Community
Rock Island, IL, June 2015 -Last year, Christian Care served almost 60,000 meals to hungry residents of the Quad Cities. Every meal served is made possible by food and financial gifts provided by generous organizations and members of the Quad City community. Right now, Christian Care needs your help to continue offering those meals at their community meal site. Their food is in short supply and the cupboards are bare!
On Saturday, June 20, Christian Care, in partnership with Jewel Food Store, will host a "Fill the Truck" food drive from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Jewel Food Store located at 2010 - 1st Street, Moline, in City Line Plaza. Jewel will provide shopping bags with a list of needed items attached. Christian Care will have a truck standing by to collect all donations and deliver them to their shelters.
Community members wishing to take an active role in stocking the pantry at Christian Care may host a food drive through their church, organization or social group. Donations are also accepted seven days a week at Christian Care's Rescue Mission, located at 2209 3rd Avenue in Rock Island. For more information, call 309-786-5734. Please partner with Christian Care and Jewel and help feed the needy of the Quad Cities community.
