HSHS Illinois Home Care, along with Dan Hecht Chevrolet/Toyota and Roy Schmidt Honda, recently teamed up to “Cram the Car” with non-perishable food items for Catholic Charities food pantries.

Along with food collected in other communities in the region where HSHS Illinois Home Care serves, the food drive effort collected a total of 2,973 pounds of non-perishable food items which was distributed equally between Catholic Charities food pantries in Effingham, Springfield and Decatur.
