Dear Loyola HSC Community,

As autumn arrives and we prepare to celebrate Jesuit Heritage Month throughout November, we once again activate to support individuals and families in Maywood and the surrounding Proviso community through collective contributions to the Quinn Center's Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive. The  offers year-round, comprehensive services, programs, and resources to hundreds of local families. They are a valued partner in our shared mission of holistic health and healing in our community!

How are we asked to help? By connecting with your colleagues, student organizations, course small groups, friends, or family to discuss how you will contribute.

1. Volunteer at Quinn

Sign up individually or with a group, department, or your family. Volunteers are needed to prepare the boxes of donated items and to distribute the boxes to families before Thanksgiving. Please . Volunteers are needed from Nov. 1 – Nov. 24.

2. Donate
