Food Drive in August & September

posted Aug 3, 2011 12:18 PM by Debbie Brewster   [ updated Aug 3, 2011 12:21 PM ]

The DeForest Area Rotary Club is sponsoring a food drive to help the DeForest Area Food Pantry.  According to the Food Pantry coordinator Keith Manke, the food pantry sees increased needs in the fall, especially as children go back to school.  Therefore, the Rotary Club is sponsoring a food drive during school registration sessions, and is encouraging residents to continue giving through September.  What's needed? Toiletries (laundry detergent, toilet paper, size 3 and larger disposable diapers, etc.) and non-perishable food (Hamburger/Tuna Helper, canned meals such as SpaghettiO's, Raviolio's, baked beans, instant mashed potatoes , instant white/brown rice, peanut butter, jelly).

Families with school-age children can bring donations to the schools during their scheduled registration.  Also look for DeForest Area Rotary Club Food Pantry bins at the following locations:  DeForest Area Public Library (203 Library Street), DeForest Area Community/Senior Center (505 N. Main Street), DMB Community Bank locations (321 N. Main Street, DeForest; 815 S. Main Street, DeForest; 6562 Lake Road, Windsor), Grobe & Associates (819 S. Main Street, DeForest), Tesar Law Office (200 S. Main Street, DeForest), DeForest Police Department (305 E. Holum Street, DeForest), and Edward Jones (132 W. Holum Street).

Thank you~
