Organize a food drive!
The E. Cherry YWCA is in need of food for our bank. We have recently lost our food suppliera and need to fill our shelves to stay open.
We were hoping you could host a food drive for us. We need items such as: soups, top ramen, pasta, cooking oil, macaroni and cheese, crackers, tomato sauce, canned fruit, diapers, peanut butter, beans, tuna fish, mayo, canned juice, rice, and cereal.
Anything you can do would be a huge help and greatly appreciated by the 40 familes we serve each week
Please contact nhilton@ywcaworks.org if you have any questions, or want to sign up your group to be food drive hosts.
