Lester's Material was proud to take part in the Touch-a-Truck food collection at the Lake County Fairgrounds!
Big equipment from dozens of agencies was on display Tuesday at the Lake County Fairgrounds in Grayslake for a Touch-a-Truck event to collect food for those in need and promote the role of public works as first responders.
Organized by the American Public Works Association Lake Branch in partnership with the Northern Illinois Food Bank and the Lake County sheriff's office, the lineup of about 40 vehicles capped a countywide campaign that began about six weeks ago.
