Robin truly put her heart and soul into everything she did. She will be missed dearly.

08/21/2024

Orland Township is deeply saddened and devastated by the loss of Robin Kassis, our Orland Township Food & Pet Pantry Coordinator.

Robin was a passionate and hardworking woman who dedicated every day to providing for her community. She impacted countless people of all ages through the Food Pantry, Holiday Programs, food drives, and daily services offered at Orland Township.

Orland Township has lost more than just an employee. Passionate, hardworking, dedicated, and strong are just a few words to describe Robin.

“Where there is a will, there is a way” is a phrase that will always reflect Robin’s personality and mentality.

Robin fed, helped, guided, and supported members and families in our community. She truly put her heart and soul into everything she did. Robin continuously looked for ways to improve and add to our services year-round. She spent countless hours after work and on weekends, even if it was just to pick up a food donation or make sure a student was able to meet their community service hour requirement. On her sickest days, she would still coordinate to ensure that she wouldn’t let anyone or the Food Pantry down. In the middle of all the chaos, Robin always found time to be there as a mother to her 4 children: Taylor, Alexandra, Jonathan, and Leah.

While we will never be able to truly thank her for all that she has done for Orland Township since 2013, she will be dearly missed by all, and we ask for your prayers for her family during this time.

To honor Robin's legacy, consider donating non-perishable food items to the Orland Township Food & Pet Pantry and attend Pet-Palooza on Saturday, September 21.
