MANCHESTER – A neighborhood food drive is underway to support two local food pantries serving families in need.
Running now through November 17, the “Sharing Is Caring” drive is collecting items for the United Methodist Church of Island Heights and Grandmother’s Cupboard.
Organizers said the Island Heights church is seeking goods that aren’t typically supplied by Fulfill, such as juice, canned tuna, crackers, and cookies. Grandmother’s Cupboard is asking for sustainable, shelf-stable foods that can be used for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Donations may be dropped off in the tote located on the porch at 1709 Madison Avenue in the Pine Lake Park section of Manchester. All items will be delivered to the food banks on November 18.
Residents are encouraged to contribute and spread the word to friends and family. “Thank you for your kindness and generosity,” organizers said.
