As cans are given to food pantry, St. Matthew's board president says it's the community that really wins.
It's tough to beat the Niles Fire Department in Golf Mill Shopping Center's Festival of Trees competition. And if anybody can, it would likely be the Niles Police Department. But St. Matthew's Evangelican Lutheran Church's strategy of asking people to bring in the boxes, bags and cans apparently worked. The church collected 946 food items for the Niles Township Food Pantry, and won first place in the friendly competition among the Niles institutions that put up holiday trees at Golf Mill's Festival of Trees this month. Mall-goers were asked to vote for their favorite tree by bringing in a non-perishable donation for the food pantry. Each item counted as one vote.

Sounds like more whiny spoiled North Shore parents and family members to me. Maybe the process is wrong, but if someone needs this silly "award" to boost their self-esteem, or worse yet, a parent's self esteem, then they have issues far greater than worrying about this voting process to say the least. Sersiously, just grow up and be happy that whoever you are mad isn't winning is actually … more ›
