The drive began on Jan. 14 and donations will be accepted through Friday, March 11 at the Recorder and Registrar's Cashiers in City Hall, 1200 Market Street, Room 126 .  Suggested food donations include:

  • peanut butter

  • canned meat or cheese ravioli
  • pork and beans
  • chili
  • stew

  • salmon
  • boxed macaroni and cheese
  • boxed cheese stuffed pasta
  • or similar items.

One Raffle Ticket will be awarded for each canned meat donation or $1 cash contribution.
