PEORIA, Ill. - Oct. 25, 2013 - PRLog -- PODS® Peoria, a moving and storage company, has teamed up with Kroger and CityLink for a month long food drive to benefit the Peoria Friendship House of Christian Service from Oct. 26 – Nov. 30.  All collected items will be donated to the Peoria Friendship House’s non-profit organization that provides various emergency services, including free meals to its food pantry, soup kitchen and homeless prevention.

A kick-off event will be at the Fall Festival, Saturday, Oct. 26, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the Kroger store located at 9219 N. Lindbergh Dr. in North Peoria.  Peoria and East Peoria Kroger stores will serve as food donation drop-off points throughout the food drive campaign.  A PODS® container will serve as the main collection point to store donations at the CityLink Administration Offices at 2105 NE Jefferson Avenue.   After the drive, a CityLink bus will be weighed with the food and will transport all food contributions to the Peoria Friendship House of Christian Service in Peoria.

“I believe the keys to PODS success are: hard work, a great team, outstanding customer service and giving back to the community through donated services. These are the seeds that will grow our business well into the future,” say PODS Peoria managing partner, Richard Gunther.
