Baskets of Love

Home>Baskets of Love

C.I.A.C.O. members, families and friends gather to assemble "Baskets of Love" - crates with food for people in need.

Every November, CIACO members, their families and friends gather at the ReNu in Glendale Heights to assemble 600 crates, containing approximately 50 pounds of food, including a turkey. Funds and food items are donated by personal and corporate sponsors. Local churches, shelters and other charities reserve crates they require to be delivered to families in need.

Basket of Love - a crate with food, each weighing over 50 lbs.
