The 2024 Lavelle Law Charities Food Drive Delivers!

Lavelle Law Charities • November 25, 2024

The 2024 Lavelle Law Charities Food Drive culminated in an incredible success on October 25. Our 4-week long food drive concluded on a beautiful Friday afternoon when Lavelle Law employees delivered well over $13,000 worth of food items and a check for $12,115 for the Schaumburg Township Food Pantry. These donations will keep the shelves stocked throughout the holiday season and beyond. This achievement would not have been possible without the support of our generous community. Thank you to everyone who donated, the organizations who hosted a collection box, and everyone who pitched in to help. We also thank our corporate sponsors for their generous support: Tony’s Fresh Market, Clearwater Capital Partners, Norman Mechanical, Quick Delivery Service, Kleen Air, and Tenant Advisors, and all who rallied behind the 2024 Lavelle Law Charities Food Drive and donated cash! Your support has made the holiday season brighter and brings hope for months ahead for the 1,200 families who rely on the Schaumburg Township Food Pantry.


Thank you for making a difference!
