Food pantry stepped up during 2014
Agency served 308 families weekly Open Arms Mission Food Pantry served an average of 308 families per week in 2014 – a feat that couldn’t have been accomplished without support from the greater Antioch community, according to Executive Director Marytherese Ambacher. “Clearly a testament to neighbor helping neighbor,” she said, extending thanks to all those who volunteered for or donated to the food pantry in the past year. Ambacher said the pantry is a community team of volunteers and supporters who work to ensure neighbors have food. With the assistance of Aldi, Jewel and Piggly Wiggly, Walmart, Northern Illinois Food Bank, individual food drives and cash donations, Open Arms Mission provided an average of 308 families each week with enough food for two days of meals throughout 2014. These numbers include delivery to seven senior apartment complexes, according to Ambacher.
With special programs, Open Arms volunteers distributed a combined total of 1,450 special holiday meal boxes for Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Throughout the school year, the pantry provides 74 weekend backpacks of food to area elementary school students who otherwise may not have nutritious weekend meals. This program is in addition to the 335 school supply kits distributed at the start of the school year. To finish up 2014, Open Arms distributed new Christmas gifts provided by the community to 610 children.

Winter wine walk chases the chill Below: Antioch Parks and Recreation staffer Bernadette Rowe, left, doubles as a sommelier for the day pouring for Melissa Stager and Tammy Bellucci, both of Antioch, during this year’s Winter Wine Walk at Piggly Wiggly, 460 Orchard St., Antioch, on Saturday. The store was one of 22 downtown businesses participating in the sixth winter wine walk. At right: A happy band of wine aficionados head into Zanna Dunes Boutique, 909 Main Street. Each stop on the Parks and Recreation Department-sponsored tour offered three wines for sampling along with a variety of hors d’oeuvres. A total of 410 area residents took part in the popular event, which was a sellout again this year.
