This holiday season, local chiropractor Sean Manning and photographer Jeff Ebert are partnering to collect donations for the Oak Park River Forest Food Pantry.  For every $20 donated, patrons will be entered in a raffle to win a prize provided by Ebert Studio.  The winner will receive a gift certificate for a studio session and one 8”x10” portrait, valued at $315 (value may also be applied towards multiple portraits or different sizes).  

Donations are being collected at Well Adjusted World, Dr. Manning’s office in Oak Park.  Because the OPRF Food Pantry can buy more for their money than the average consumer, only monetary donations are being collected instead of the traditional food drive.  For every $100 collected, the OPRF Food Pantry can purchase $1100 worth of food!  

Anyone wishing to donate can stop by during office hours at 715 Lake Street, Suite 271, Oak Park, IL 60301.  Hours are posted on the Well Adjusted World website: www.welladjustedworld.com.  Donations will be accepted through December 16, 2011, and a winner will be announced December 21^st.  All members of the community are encouraged to contribute and help those in need this holiday season!
