With Oldies 96.7/Freq 90.5 set to again hold its All Hand On Deck Food Drive, the general manager of Kawartha Food Share says the late summer timing of the annual appeal is perfect heading into fall.
Set for August 24th outside select local grocery stores, volunteers will collect non-perishable food items destined for distribution to Kawartha Food Share partner agencies. Ashlee Aitken says with the pending return to school, shelves at Neal Drive warehouse are in need of filling.
Contrary to popular thought, says Aitken, the demand for food doesn’t slow down during the summer, creating an even greater need for donations heading into fall.
Aitken says long shelf-life food items top the list of what’s needed.
Stay tuned to Oldies and Freq for locations for the All Hands On Deck Food Drive.
