Smiths Falls service clubs have one more weekend to collect foodf for the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank.
The Rotary Club of Smiths Falls and the Kinsmen Club of Smiths Falls are working alongside the Legion, Lions and Civitan clubs in support of the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank.
Rotary Club president Tracy Staples says the project grew out of monthly meetings between service clubs.
Kinsmen vice-president Wayne Steggles says the timing is important, with many residents feeling financial pressure after the holidays.
Staples says the need in the community continues to grow.
Steggles says teamwork from local businesses and volunteers has been strong.
The food drive runs today (Friday, Feb. 13) and tomorrow, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., at Food Basics, Giant Tiger, Garden Market and Jonsson’s Your Independent Grocer.
Cash and donations of pre-assembled bags prepared by the host grocery stores will be graciously accepted.
