Food drive set for March 2

Posted

There is an upcoming community food share opportunity for supporting all the food pantries in Archuleta County.

Healthy Archuleta is partnering to host a food drive on Saturday, March 2, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at City Market. 

Community food-sharing opportunities allow us to gather together to support our community as a whole. 

Those who are able to are encouraged to share what they can to help the Food Distribution Center better support the Archuleta County Food Pantry Network with foods that our neighbors can use.

Join Healthy Archuleta in supporting the food security of our local community. A collection table will be set up at the store with a list of food items that our neighbors can use this spring and volunteers ready to collect donations. These items will help stock the shelves of the Food Distribution Center, which supports the food pantries in Archuleta County. 

Come participate in a community food sharing opportunity.

This event will support the seven Archuleta County food pantries: Amazing Grace Community Church, Community United Methodist Church, Our Community Eats, Pope John Paul II Catholic Church, TARA Community Center, Socorro Senior Housing and St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church.

If you would like to make donations to the food drive outside of the hours, there is a collection bin at the UPS Office near City Market located at the front of the store.
