May 2023 was definitely EVENT-FUL for The Food Drive! Now that we’ve been rescuing food in our community for over two years, more and more local events are reaching out with their surplus food! This month alone, we rescued burritos and fixings from a Teacher Appreciation Lunch at an elementary school (delivered by the superhero above!), pasta and salad from the high school band banquet, snacks and waters from a middle school dance, appetizers and treats from two office parties, and fruit and beverages from a Mother’s Day 5K, and distributed it all between three food pantries and two motel shelters. At the end of an event, organizers often wonder how to deal with leftovers – a challenge that can easily be turned into an opportunity with the right resources! The Food Drive is thrilled and grateful to be a resource in our community to connect surplus food with people who need it.
