Thanksgiving Food & Coat Drive

Thanksgiving Food & Coat Drive

November 16–December 6 | Oak Brook

Winter can be a difficult season for many families. As temperatures drop, the LIFT Center is sharing the blessing of warmth by providing coats and cold weather essentials to those in need. 

We're collecting new or gently used coats, hats, gloves, scarves and blankets to be distributed to our LIFT Center guests at our Coats, Care and Christmas Brunch on December 13. We will also be collecting the following food items to share with our LIFT Center guests for the holidays:

  • Cooking oil
  • Masa flour
  • Spices | sage, oregano, salt, cinnamon, bay leaves
  • Bouillon/chicken broth
  • Dried peppers | chile
  • Canned tomato
  • Rice
  • Canned corn
  • Canned chicken
  • Hominy
  • Pasta

Important Notes: 

  • Please try to avoid glass items. 
  • When possible, please choose plastic containers. 
  • Please try to choose items in ‘average’ sizes rather than bulk sizes. 
  • Smaller sizes help us distribute food more evenly between families. A couple of average-sized jars are better than one giant jar. 

Butterfield Drop-off: Drop items off at Door 1.  

Oak Brook Drop-off: Drop items off items at any of the LIFT Center displays just inside Doors 1, 2 or 17.
