Happy Basava Jayanthi !!
In honor of Basava Jayanthi, I would like to invite you to participate in a food drive (Dasoha) on May 10th. Your donation will help stock the Northern Illinois Food Bank. Every year the Northern Illinois Food Bank helps thousands of underprivileged people in Illinois to get the food they need to sustain daily life.
One of Basavanna’s most important principles was dasoha. Dasoha is giving some of what you have earned from honest work to others in the community who are less privileged than you in order to bring them to the same level as you. By contributing to this food drive you will be helping feed thousands of people in Illinois who are under the national poverty line.
It would be really helpful if every family bought in 5 or more pounds of food. Or if you are unable to bring in food any donation as small as $5 or more could be used to purchase food that would then be donated.
Please see the attached document for the list of needed items. Please do not donate expired food. Check expiration dates before donating. And for more information on the Northern Illinois Food Bank, please visit: http://www.northernilfoodbank.org/.
Thank you for your support and generosity!
Abhinav Reddy
