Giving Back

    We are honored to partner with the Just Food Initiative of Fox Valley, a teaching nonprofit organization dedicated to building a more just and sustainable food system. Their mission goes beyond the traditional food pantry model by addressing the root causes of food insecurity and empowering individuals with lifelong food skills. Instead of offering a temporary handout, JFI provides a "hand up" by teaching practical food knowledge that ensures lasting food security. They emphasize affordability and equity, working to make sure that all people- including the most economically vulnerable- have access to quality food. JFI also seeks out and promotes alternatives by supporting local, family-owned farmers and producers, while advocating for justice for our animals, seeds, soils, plants, water, and wallets. Their vision is Clean. Green. Just. Through their work, JFI inspires communities to take part in food justice and food sovereignty, ensuring healthier bodies, healthier families, and a healthier Earth for generations to come. 

     We are honored to partner with The Richie Pervan Touch Foundation which was established as a non- profit 501(c)(3) organization to continue the legacy of        Richie Pervan's noble life and work.

    Richie was a beacon of strength and courage throughout his diagnosis, treatment and multiple surgeries during his battle with cancer. His upbringing and strong faith carried not only himself, but all those who surrounded him with love and support during those dark times. He often quoted the bible saying, "May God's will be done" and turning to Padre Pio stating "Pray, hope and don't worry."

Richie lived his life with dignity, respect and humor. On March 18, 2013, he passed from complications of cancer with the same poise & grace he lived his life. He forever left an indelible mark on all those who had the pleasure of knowing him. His spirit carries on.

    The mission of the organization is to assist children in need--whatever the need may be. As an organization, we are proud to have already helped children with both academic and sports scholarships, assisted children with medical and mental health supports, and have financially eased the burden of families in need. The mission of the foundation has now extended to particularly assist children and their families diagnosed with cancer. We are now working with families through Advocate Children's Hospital Children's Cancer Center-Park Ridge Campus. Where there's a need, the foundation helps!
