Irving’s Virtual Food Drive for Beyond Hunger

Want to help Oak Park families in need?

Starting on April 1st until April 30th, we will be collecting donations for Beyond Hunger, formerly Oak Park River Forest Food Pantry. Local schools across the community have joined this challenge by having a virtual food drive.

Support by making a donation to our team on the Irving Fundraising page. The process is fast, easy, and secure!

Our PTO will match up to $1000!
