Interfaith Food Drive begins for needy

FALLBROOK – The Fallbrook Food Pantry is pleased to announce the upcoming 2016 Interfaith Food Drive, which was last held in 2013 and was a huge success.

The most needed items are non-perishables, such as canned meats, canned soups, canned or dried fruits, canned vegetables, dried beans, rice, peanut butter, powdered or canned milk, oats, cereals, packaged nuts and seeds, and dry pasta.

All donations can be dropped off at local churches, local fire stations, Major Market, Albertsons, and Daniels Market.

The food will be picked up Saturday, April 9 between 8 a.m. and noon. Anyone unable to make it to the drop off stations can bring their donations to the Fallbrook Food Pantry at 1042 S. Mission Road (access off Aviation Road).

Anyone interested in volunteering his or her time on April 9 to help with the food drive can contact event coordinator Mike Bongerz at [email protected] or (760) 908-8018, or executive director Jennifer Vetch at [email protected] or (760) 728-7608.
