In an attempt to surpass its 2012 donation total, Central Collision Center aims to collect 3,000 items from Nov. 1 to Nov. 21 in the company’s annual Thanksgiving food drive benefitting Alicia’s House Food Pantry.

Donations can be dropped off at Central Collision’s offices in Peotone, Mokena, Crete, New Lenox, Oak Forest and Tinley Park, Ill. from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. In addition to non-perishable food items, the company is also requesting unopened toiletry donations.
