Prince of Peace Helps Needy Families

Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Schaumburg helped supply 165 needy families in Hanover Park with fresh sweet corn, breads, juice, meat and cereal recently.
Thanks to donations from church members, Prince of Peace was able to partner with Hanover Township and the Northern Illinois Food Bank to sponsor a mobile food pantry. The pantry was set up at Laurel Hill Elementary School in Hanover Park on June 25, 2010.

$650 collected from a special fund raising project at the church supported the mobile food pantry. After the funds were raised, more than two dozen volunteers from the church helped to distribute perishable food to local residents in need.

"Prince of Peace is thankful to have participated in such an important local ministry," said church member Bonnie Wagner, who organized the effort.
