McCOLLY Real Estate, on behalf of the McCOLLY Foundation, would like to thank everyone who participated in our Fall Harvest Food Drive to support our local food pantries. The non-perishable food collection began on October 31, 2011 and continued through November 18th, 2011. The collection sites were amongst the 18 McCOLLY Real Estate offices in Northwest Indiana and the Chicago Southland area.

Because of your efforts, the McCOLLY Foundation was able to make several truckloads of donations to local food pantries throughout the month. The following food pantries received donations from this food drive: the Salvation Army in Munster, serving the McCOLLY Real Estate office areas in Indiana. Frankfort Township Food Pantry, serving the McCOLLY Real Estate office areas in Illinois. The food pantry representatives received the donations with great appreciation!

The McCOLLY Foundation would also like to thank the following list of McCOLLY volunteers who helped prepare and make deliveries to the pantries: Cara Lipinski, Beecher office; Marcy Reicher, Bourbonnais office; Milenda Simerlein, Chesterton Office; Rhonda McColly-Fleener, Sue Frank, Nancy Pachin, and Cheryl McLaughlin, Corporate office; Cathy Mattan, Rosa Dominguez, and Sue Herrmann, Crown Point office; Deanna Shapiro, Kathie Dinga, Melody Sanchez, and Linda Branson, Highland office; Gayle Roberts, Portage Willowcreek office; Ed & Liz Keleher and Sue Blue, Schererville office; and Sheryl Barnard, Valparaiso office.
