Volunteers needed for food drive

Volunteers can register via e-mail for the upcoming Ancaster Community Food Drive, slated for Saturday, Feb. 20.
Volunteer drivers are still needed to cover about 20 routes for the town wide, door to door canvass. E-mail ancastercommunityfooddrive@gmail.com or contact Ancaster Community Services at 905-648-6675 to volunteer your time.
Launched 19 years ago by the Ancaster Ministerial Association with local citizens, businesses, schools and community agencies, the food drive supports eight Greater Hamilton foodbanks.
Volunteers are needed to distribute information flyers on Feb. 13 and to collect, load and sort donations on the following Saturday. All donations are delivered to St. John’s Parish Hall to be sorted and shipped to the individual agencies.
Last year’s food drive collected a record total of 79,000 pounds of non-perishable food. Food collection takes about three hours and most routes produce a car load of food.
