Garvey's Office Products has teamed up with the Greater Chicago Food Depository (GCFD) to become a Food Drive Transportation Partner. What this means is that we will be collecting canned non-perishable food at our facility in Niles and delivering the food donation to GCFD each week. Food drives are a great way to unite your company or friends and family to support our community. The food need in Cook County has never been greater and together we can hopefully make a difference!
MOST NEEDED ITEMS
- Peanut Butter
- Canned Beans
- Canned Chili
- Canned Soup
- Canned Stew
- Canned Fruit
- Canned Vegetables
- Canned Fish
Host a Traditional Food Drive at Your Office
If you are planning on holding a traditional food drive at your office, please collect our most needed items. Once you have a full box of canned food collected, simply hand it off to your Garvey's delivery driver and we'll handle the rest.
Guidelines for Food Donations
Food drive donations must be:
- Non-perishable
- In the original container with the original product label
- Within the “Use by” or “Best if used by” dates
- Free of damage, stains or moisture
- Standard retail food products (we cannot accept homemade food)
PLEASE NOTE: We recommend using Garvey's boxes that your order was delivered in to collect and store food donations. Please DO NOT use boxes that were previously used to store raw meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, produce or chemicals.
Food Drive Drop-Off
If you want to donate a few boxes of canned food any time of year, you are always welcome to use your Garvey's boxes that your order is delivered in to collect food donations. We will pick-up food dontations when making office products deliveries to your location.
If coming to Garvey's to make a drop-off, please call 1-847-588-1690 for further instructions.
Request a Pick-up
If you are a Garvey's Customer and have a large donation, please call 1-847-588-1690 to schedule a pick-up.
Box Labels for Food Donation
Please download and fill out a Food Drive Box Label and affix it to the outside of your donation box. Please print out the box label and secure it to your food donations before you give them to your Garvey's Driver. Each box should have its own label, as multiple boxes may get separated on truck.
