Join us in spreading love and kindness this holiday season by participating in the City-Wide Food Drive!
❤️ By adding a few extra items to your grocery list and dropping them off at one of these participating locations from Dec 9th to 13th, 2024, you can help fight hunger and improve the lives of others in the community. ❤️
The City-Wide Christmas Food Drive lasts from Dec. 9 to Dec. 13. Jefferson County residents are encouraged to drop off food donations at Angels on Assignment, 1201 Broadway in Mt. Vernon. Angels on Assignment is open from noon to 4pm on Thursdays and from 9am to noon on Fridays and Saturdays.
Other drop-off locations include:
- The Medicine Shoppe at 2339 Broadway – 9am-6pm M-F and 9am-1pm Saturdays
- Meagher Pest Control at 323 Broadway – 8am-4pm M-F
Needed items include shelf stable foods like: rice, pasta, pasta sauce, canned fruits & vegetables, canned meats, oatmeal, hot and cold cereals, raisins, granola, snacks, jams/jelly, peanut butter, boxed meals, jerky and more! Perishable items such as frozen turkeys, ham or milk, are also accepted, but must be donated when there is staff present at Angels on Assignment, so that the items can be placed in the freezer or refrigerated. The best time to donate perishables at Angels on Assignment is from noon to 6pm on Dec. 11.
Any excess food received will be shared with other local food pantries. All of the food collected stays in Jefferson County.
