Rose Paving Co. and the Chicago Fire Major League Soccer Team Join Together to “Steamroll Hunger”
BRIDGEVIEW, IL – August, 2006
In an effort to help the Greater Chicago Food Depository (GCFD), Rose Paving Company and the Chicago Fire Major League Soccer Team will be partnering in the 1st Annual Steamroll Hunger Food Drive, kicking off on Monday, August 21st.
During this month-long event, both organizations will collect and contribute non-perishable food items to the GCFD as a friendly way to help neighbors in need. “Supporting charitable programs such as the Greater Chicago Food Depository is of tremendous importance to our company” said Alan Rose, CEO of Rose Paving. “We’re looking forward to working with the Chicago Fire Major League Soccer Team and encouraging all our staff, family, friends, and soccer fans to bring in donations so that our 1st Annual Steamroll Hunger Food Drive is a success!”
Close to 500,000 people each year rely on emergency and supplemental food provided by the GCFD and its member network of almost 600 food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters. That figure represents a significant increase over previous studies conducted by the Food Depository and reflects census trends of poverty in Cook County.
“We recognize there are numerous Chicagoans who go hungry every day. Our goal is to reach out and help those in need by collecting 1,000 pounds of food or more. If everyone gives back a little bit, it will add up significantly,” said Donald Ortale, Senior Director of Community Relations for the Chicago Fire Major League Soccer Team.
Donations will be accepted through September 25, 2006, and can be dropped off at Rose Paving headquarters located in Bridgeview or at TOYOTA PARK stadium, also in Bridgeview. Surrounding communities, businesses, and soccer enthusiasts are encouraged to donate items in need such as canned meats, soups, fruits, and vegetables; peanut butter; rice; pasta; cereal; and 100% fruit juice. All non-perishable foods will be accepted. Please, no home-made foods or items in glass containers.
If you are able to assist the endeavor to Steamroll Hunger in any way, please contact Cheryl Feldner at 708-430-1100 or .
