“The holidays can be an incredibly stressful and difficult time for our friends and neighbors that are struggling to make ends meet,” said Rep.

The Holiday Food Drive will begin on Monday, December 5th and conclude on Wednesday, December 21st at State Representative Amy Elik’s district office, located at 192 Alton Square Mall Dr., Suite C in Alton. Non-perishable food items can be dropped off between the hours of 8:30 am and 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday.
