Once again, Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council Social Service Committee members will coordinate a neighborhood food drive to benefit food pantries serving our neighborhood and the immediate vicinity.
All food pantries in the area report a steady increase in requests for assistance over the last two years. Grace Methodist, Grace and Peace Fellowship, New Cote Brilliante Church of God and St. Roch Parish all operate food pantries to help those in need and will once again receive the bounty collected, this year on Saturday, November 8th. Flyers and instructions will be delivered door to door in the neighborhood.
As always, drivers and “runners” to collect the food are needed.
If you can find a couple of hours to share with your neighbors on Saturday morning, November 8th, and want to help out, please contact 862-5122. And start saving your canned goods and other non-perishable items to contribute to those less fortunate.
