Library Staff contributes to Thanksgiving Dinner Baskets
November 17, 2008 · Leave a Comment
Each fall, medical students from Loyola University Chicago’s Stritch School of Medicine, organize, with the support of University Ministry, Thanksgiving Baskets to provide a meal for local needy families. Each year, over 300 baskets are donated from deserving individuals. Baskets consist of canned goods, vegetables, desserts, and a gift certificate to buy a turkey, and often include “extras” such as tablecloths, toys for kids, candles with candleholders, and other extra “goodies.” Students deliver these baskets before Thanksgiving to needy families in Maywood, and in Chicago’s West and South sides. Each Library staff member is contributing something to a basket and wishes a Happy Thanksgiving to all the deserving families.
