From Megan Lopez, Volunteer Coordinator at Lazarus House:
Wanted to send you a picture of the bookshelves, they worked perfectly! The size is great, the kids can walk right over to it and take the books on top to read. We are so blessed and grateful to you (Kim Haag) and the other members from the Ladies Auxiliary! Thank you for all your help!!
And, we thank Kim, too, for leading this effort.

Along with breakfast, seeing Santa and crafts, children could enter the Keep Christ in Christmas poster contest. The event was well attended with good submissions for the poster contest. Thank you, Lois Mielke, for leading this event for the LAX.

Two groups of Ladies and their gentlemen volunteered at the Northern IL Food Bank (NIFB) on November 8th and 17th. The first group helped pack 1,950 pounds of apples into 5 pound bags. It reportedly was a great workout!
Shown above are Marty Vanko, Charity Davis, Janet Holmgren, Mary Ellen and David Rix and Rose Engle
The 2nd group packed 76 door dash orders with milk, chicken, apples and carrots and then, loaded them into the door dash cars as they arrived. A relatively new service, My Pantry Express is an online food pantry developed and operated by NIFB in collaboration with community partners. Individuals interested in shopping with My Pantry Express can visit the NIFB website to place an online grocery order for pick up or delivery at no charge.

Several Ladies Auxiliary members helped at the Pies by the Guys fundraiser. It is quite an operation starting at 6:30 am until 2 pm. About half of the pies went to other KOC councils – who were also there to lend a hand.
