Rotary Club’s Next Drive-thru Food Drive is April 5

The Rotary Club of Pittsford’s next drive-thru food drive is scheduled Saturday (April 5) from  9 am to noon at the Pittsford Sutherland High School bus loop. In addition to the Pittsford Food Cupboard, donations also will support Joseph’s Place and the Nazareth University Oak Tree Food Pantry. Rotarians and Interact Club members will be collecting at the drive rain or shine.

The Pittsford Food Cupboard plays a crucial role in addressing food insecurity within our community. Donations help ensure that local families have access to essential food items and will promote well-being and stability. Though all food items are needed, the cupboard’s most needed current items are cereal; spaghetti sauce and pasta; hearty soups, chili or stew; meals in a can (pasta and meat); tuna, chicken or other canned meat; dish soap; and bathroom tissue. The cupboard also maintains a list of current needs.

Joseph’s Place is small food pantry serving residents living in the Cathedral neighborhood of Rochester who experience food insecurity. The pantry operates on an all volunteer staff.

The Oak Tree Pantry serves those with food insecurity in the Nazareth community. The pantry has an ongoing need for granola bars, pasta, peanut butter, soap and other hygiene products.

The drive also will collect donations of gently used, current magazines for distribution to area human service organizations.
