With back to school around the corner, the Flagstaff Food Bank is in need of donations to get them through September and the rest of the fall.
“We need donations of school snacks for school children,” says FFCS Executive Director Lynne Jenkinson.
At present, the Food Bank needs:
-juice boxes
-four-pack puddings
-four- or six-pack jello or fruit
-noodle cups/ichiban
-granola bars
-snacking crackers, and
-cookies
She adds, “We have drop off bins at Killam Co-op, Sedgewick Co-op, Daysland AG foods, and Hardisty Vision Credit Union.
“If you want to drop off donations you can do so at FFCS in Killam at 4809 49th Avenue in Killam.
“If you need pick up, just call FFCS at 780-385-3976 and we can see what we can work out.
“Thank you, in advance, for helping feed the children of Flagstaff.”
Jenkinson says donations in terms of actual food by weight are down substantially from last year, and she’s hoping to fill the shelves in time for the start of school.
