C.O.C.A., Inc. (Collinsville, IL) donates to two food banks in Southern Illinois region: Catholic Charities in Alton, IL and Western Egyptian EOC in Sparta, IL

At our events this year 2020 we promoted that excess funds received from our raffles would be donated to area food banks in the Southern Illinois region.  The organization raised $2400.00 and chose two food banks: the Western Egyptian EOC food bank in Sparta and the Catholic Charities food pantry in Alton, IL.  COCA’s Executive Director Mary Beth Proost said “The members of C.O.C.A., Inc. are dedicated to our local communities and saw a real need to help out food banks in our region this year.”   COCA extends a warm and gracious “thank you” to our members and owners for making these donations possible.
