Posted12/20/2020 5:30 AM This is Good News Sunday, a compilation of some of the more upbeat and inspiring stories published by the Daily Herald during the previous week: When 16-year-old Eva Konsur read a news article this summer about a milelong line of cars at a food pantry in Texas, she decided to take action.
I thought it would be a great idea for all of us to help out our local food pantries, so I started reaching out to local businesses, said Eva, who lives in Palatine and is a junior at William Fremd High School, At first Eva reached out to grocery stores, asking if she could set up a table and ask customers for donations, but was told that was not possible due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The manager of Trader Joe s in Schaumburg, however, came up with the idea of asking employees if they would donate to Eva s initiative, which got the ball rolling.
