Pack the Pool Food Collection

During the summer months, demand for food increases in our food pantries. Families with children who typically rely on school-provided breakfast and lunch turn to us to meet their increased food needs at home. At the same time, summer heat forces many elderly individuals to choose between paying for utilities to stay cool or buying food. Unfortunately, food donations are typically lower during the summer. The Care Service’s annual Pack the Pool food collection ensures our pantry shelves are stocked and ready to provide families with enough food to last throughout the summer. Our community-wide food collection will take place in St. Charles, Lincoln, and Warren counties from June 15-26. Donations may be dropped off at The Care Service Monday through Friday 8:30am - 4:30pm or at one of our partner locations (New Frontier Bank branches at Zumbehl, Elm Street, and Lake St. Louis). You may also drop off at The Care Service on Friday, June 26 from 9am - 11am and grab a discounted drink from Travelin' Tom's Coffee Truck on our parking lot!
