LLCC’s chapter of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society is asking for your help! They are holding a Food Pantries Donation Drive. Donations will benefit two different organizations:

• Monetary donations for the LLCC Food Pantry. You can donate online through the LLCC Foundation by clicking llccfoundation.org/donate (click the “Donate Now” button and choose “LLCC Food Pantry” from the drop-down menu.)
• Item donations for the new First Presbyterian Church Micro-Pantry. This brand-new micro-pantry was built by LLCC Professor Emeritus of Sociology Don Ecklund, and was recently featured on the front page of the State-Journal Register. Donation boxes are located near the Information Desk in A. Lincoln Commons and the LLCC Student Success office on the first floor of Menard Hall. View a list of items needed.

The Food Pantries Donation Drive ends at noon on Thursday, June 3. This food drive is part of a statewide competition among Phi Theta Kappa chapters throughout Illinois. The three chapters collecting the most donations will receive a cash prize of up to $100 to donate to their chosen food pantry (if LLCC wins, the money will be split between the LLCC Food Pantry and the First Presbyterian Micro-Pantry.) Please consider making a donation; every dollar or item helps! If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Claire Gordon, PTK coordinator, at 217-768-4944 or claire.gordon@llcc.edu.
