Business Center Drive, Lake Forest. The packing requires lifting up to 10 pounds and standing on concrete floors.

If we have less than 8 volunteers we can still be scheduled, we just have to notify the food bank two weeks prior to the packing date and the number of volunteers we’ll be supplying. People do not have to commit to attend every month.  

The dates are:
August 17
September 21
October 19
November 16


If you are interested in participating or have any questions please contact Alan Greene @ aig0220@comcast.net.

If you are available on August 17, please let Alan know as soon as possible and in any event before August 3.

After you express interest, Alan will send a registration form to you. You will need to create a password and sign 2 standard consent forms, one for safety and one for media.]]>Thu, 30 Jan 2020 23:10:20 GMThttp://samgroupil.org/volunteer-opportunities/volunteer-with-evanston-produce-mobileWhen: February 11, 2020

The SAM board decided to inform members of volunteer opportunities with nonsectarian organizations. Howard Sachs a SAM member has been volunteering with the  Evanston Produce Mobile, which is run by Interfaith Action of Evanston since 2012. 

Most of the volunteers are regulars but also different groups come to help out such as Northwestern students,people from a company, and teenagers during the summer months. The work is not overly strenuous, and many of the volunteers are seniors. The truck comes from the Greater Chicago Food Depository to the Robert Crown Center 1701 Main Street in Evanston. The truck is unloaded and food is passed out to usually over 250 households. 

Distribution is once a month on the 2nd Tuesday, from about 8:30am to 11:30am. The date for February is the 11th.  Please contact Howard Sachs at sachsha@comcast.net if you are willing to volunteer or have any questions.]]>Tue, 10 Dec 2019 19:05:45 GMThttp://samgroupil.org/volunteer-opportunities/greater-chicago-food-depository-robert-crown-center-in-evanstonWhen: 2nd Tuesday of every month

The SAM board decided to inform members of volunteer opportunities with nonsectarian organizations. Howard Sachs a SAM member has been volunteering with the Evanston Produce Mobile, which is run by Interfaith Action of Evanston since 2012. Volunteers come from many different faiths, but religion never comes into discussion. Most of the volunteers are regulars but also different groups come to help out such as Northwestern students,people from a company, and teenagers during the summer months. The work is not overly strenuous, and many of the volunteers are seniors. Howard Sachs is willing to help organize a group of men who would like to volunteer.

Distribution is once a month on the 2nd Tuesday, from about 8:30am to 11:30am. The truck comes from the Greater Chicago Food Depository to the Robert Crown Center in Evanston. The truck is unloaded and food is passed out to usually over 250 households.
