More of our neighbors are experiencing something many never thought possible in our plentiful area…hunger. Local food pantries are struggling to keep up with the increased demand. The Community Council of St. Charles County and Operation Food Search are teaming up again this year to sponsor the 8th Annual Saturday Jubilee Food Drive. On July 30, 2016, from 9:00am to 4:00pm, volunteers will be collecting food and cash donations at our local grocery stores throughout St. Charles and surrounding counties to support 23 area food pantries. Last year, more than 44,200 food items were collected, and cash donations purchased an additional 1,382 cases of food!
How you can help:
- Volunteer to be a Store Team Captain: Area grocery stores need to be staffed. If you can organize a group of 10-15 volunteers to staff a store on the day of July 30th and coordinate the volunteers into 2 hours shifts, we need to hear from you now. All information and materials needed are provided.
- Conduct a food drive at your work, your church, in your neighborhood or as a family project during July.
With your help, hurting families in our community will be given food to help them through difficult times. And most importantly, they will know that in their time of need, their neighbors cared. Read More
