Naperville-Aurora HSS-balgokulam team conducted its 2nd annual food drive event as part of Diwali festivities to help support the needy in our local community. The drive started on Oct 15th and culminated on Nov 20 with delivery of over a ton (2100 pounds) of food to 'Loaves and Fishes' food pantry.

Key highlights in this year's food drive
* Participation of a good number of Naperville 204 schools (elementary/middle). Kids donated in large numbers and communications by the school district reached over 16000 families.
* Participation of other Indian organizations, Science of spirtuality, Hindu Satsang, Maharashtra Mandal. Each organization had its own food collection activity as part of this food drive
* Participation of Michael's veg market, Caputos (local fresh markets) and other indian grocery stores. To augment collection, all karyakarthas spent a few hours in front of Michael stores on one Sunday distributing flyers to visiting shoppers. This greatly helped increase the contribution by all shoppers.
