State House candidate Chris Bos.
Like other candidates for state office, Chris Bos has announced and organized food drives to support food pantries in his local area. For Bos, that means the pantries in Lake Zurich, Libertyville, and Mundelein, Illinois.
“The small businesses and faith leaders in our community are serving as an inspiration for their service and leadership during this crisis and I’m happy my team and I can join their efforts and provide assistance and donations in support of these great organizations,” Bos said. “As our community faces unique challenges, we are providing service to those in need through projects like this.”
His campaign is organizing food drives to support the pantries that are finding themselves in critical need of nonperishable food donations, diapers and wipes, in order to better support the citizens most affected by the stay-at-home order issued by Gov. J.B. Pritzker, and extended until the end of May.
To make donating easier and safer, given the COVID-19 pandemic, members of Team Bos will come to residents’ homes and pick up their donations from their porches, without touching anyone and with minimal contact in general.
Individuals interested in donating to these food pantries are asked to contact Team Bos by email at chris@chrisbos.us.
Bos spent nearly two decades serving as a pastor for children and families. He also worked with nonprofit leadership. His governmental experience includes time as a trustee with Ela Township since 2017.
Chris and his wife Christina live in Lake Zurich and have three children.
He hopes to be elected to represent the residents of House District 51, which includes all or parts of Barrington, Barrington Hills, Deer Park, Grayslake, Green Oaks, Hawthorn Woods, Kildeer, Lake Barrington, Lake Zurich, Libertyville, Long Grove, Mettawa, Mundelein, North Barrington, Round Lake Park, Tower Lakes, Vernon Hills, Wauconda and Waukegan.
