Spring food drive at Foodland in Clinton
Spring is a season of new life,
and that is evident all around us
as we witness plants and trees
coming back to life following a
season of dormancy, and as we
see birds hurriedly preparing
their nests for new arrivals. With
that in mind, The Salvation
Army Community and Family
Services office in Clinton
brought some new life to the
shelves of its food bank with a
food drive at the Foodland in
Clinton. The surplus of food
donations which they received
during this past Christmas sea-
son had been depleted and the
regular donations were not
enough to keep up with the
demand.
"Presently our Community
and Family Services offices are
seeing a steady demand for our
services, as we are averaging
over 150 households coming in
for assistance each month," said
Lieutenant David Hickman.
Although the food bank is
located in Clinton, they service
individuals from many sur-
rounding communities such as
Auburn, Brucefield, Londes-
boro, Kippen, Homesville and
some rural areas south of Blyth.
This is the first time that The Sal-
vation Army in Clinton has had
to do a Spring Food Drive, and
they were grateful for the tre-
mendous support of the cus-
tomers at Foodland.
The Salvation Army was on-
site at Foodland in Clinton this
past Friday from 10:OOam until
4:30pm asking shoppers if they
were able to help by purchasing
1 item for the local food bank.
The community was very
responsive and supportive of
this.
Donations are always wel-
come at their location at 32
Albert Street on Tuesdays and
Thursdays from 9:30am-4:OOpm
and Wednesday from 1:30-
4:OOpm. The most needed items
at the food bank currently are
Dry Pasta Noodles, and Pasta
Sauce, Canned Meat, Canned
Fruit and School Snacks for
children.
