The RCL Build a Mountain of Food rolls into Portland and Merrickville next Saturday, after successful stops in Elgin and Westport on Saturday.
The Portland Food Bank’s Louise Martin says even though they serve a small community, demand is big.
That’s why the Build a Mountain of Food campaign is so important. Martin says its the cornerstone of their year.
Donations of cash and non-perishable food items will be collected in Portland from 9:00 AM until noon at the Portland LCBO and RBC.
The drive then moves on to Merrickville from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, at the Merrickville Food Market in support of the Merrickville Lion’s Club Christmas Food Hamper Campaign.
