The Community Food Bank will give out food bags on Thursday evening, Nov. 15, starting between 4:30 and 5 p.m. at 36963 Oak St., Burney. Anyone requesting food help should contact Arlene Carroll at 335-5826 before Monday, Nov. 12, to put in a request.
“To the Burney Community at large, thanking you for your previous generosity, but as we prepare for Thanksgiving, we need your help to make these bags bountiful for our guests,” Carroll said. “The guests here can choose what meat they would like for Thanksgiving. “I need approximately seven turkeys, three beef roasts, and one roasting hen. But, unfortunately, we are out of canned veggies (I buy fresh veggies),” she said.
Other needs include; sweet potatoes, olives, pie crusts, brown sugar, white or granulated sugar, marshmallows, cake mixes, bread crumbs, and dressing. “Monetary donations are used on the food and gas to make this Food Bank work,” she said.
“If anyone has a van, they could donate to the cause. It would be greatly appreciated, as the one I drive is dying. Thank you in advance.”
