This holiday season, Prescott Brothers Ford in Rochelle, together with 102.3 The Coyote and Superhits 93.5, is proud to once again host its annual 2-Ton Food Drive on Thursday, Nov. 20, benefiting the Rochelle Christian Food Pantry.

Every year, this tradition unites the community around one goal: making sure no family in Rochelle goes hungry. Last year, thanks to the community’s generosity, it raised over $16,000 to support local families. This year, the need is greater than ever, and so its goal is $20,000 plus 2 tons of food to stock the pantry shelves and keep hope alive for neighbors in need.

Here’s how you can help:

Donate non-perishable food items: Drop them off at Prescott Brothers Ford in Rochelle between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20.

Give financially: Every $1 donated equals $7 in food for the pantry. Monetary contributions go even further in filling the shelves with what families need most.

Spread the word: Encourage friends, family, coworkers, and fellow businesses to get involved. The more who join in, the greater the impact.
