Roberts Park FPD news

From Roberts Park FPD on Facebook;

Thank you, thank you, thank you! In just four short hours at Jewel-Osco, our community donated a mountain of food and nearly $900 in cash for Elsie’s Food Pantry. We are truly blown away by your generosity and kindness. A huge thank you to Jesse and the team at Jewel-Osco in Hickory Hills—not only for welcoming us outside the store, but for also donating food themselves. Your support means the world.
 
To anyone who came by after 2:00pm, we’re sorry we missed you! Duty called and our crews had to respond to an emergency—but it’s not too late to help. We’re still collecting donations!
 
Drop off items: Station 1 – 8611 S Roberts Rd in Justice 8:00am to 7:00pm daily through Wednesday, May 7th 2025.
 
Let’s keep the momentum going and help Elsie’s Pantry reopen their doors to the many local families who rely on them. Thank you for showing up for your neighbors!
