Drive-Thru Food Collection – March 6
Cranford United Methodist Church has announced that it will host its next Drive-Thru Food Collection event on Saturday, March 6 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the church’s parking lot, as the pandemic rages on and more of our neighbors are struggling to keep food on the table.
Place your bags of non-perishable food in your trunk, drive up, pop your trunk and volunteers will remove them, no contact needed! Your food donations will be delivered to Cranford Family Care, St. Joseph’s Social Services and other local organizations serving families in need.
Cranford United Methodist Church’s parking lot is next to the Cranford Library, 201 Lincoln Ave East, Cranford.
Here are examples of especially needed items: boxed milk, oil, spices, salt, pepper, tea and coffee, sugar, flour, tuna, crackers, soup, cereal, canned vegetables, rice, cake mix and frosting, dish detergent, soap and paper goods.
There is also a special need for bags of fresh produce, for example apples, onions, potatoes and other hardy fresh produce.
Can’t make that date? There are bins placed outside the entrance to the church off of the parking lot where donations can be dropped any time.
Last month, 8 vans full to the brim with food were delivered to Cranford Family Care and St. Joseph’s and we thank you for helping make it happen!
Please spread the word by letting your neighbors know about this event on March 6. Mark your calendars for the next few food drives: April 10 and May 8. Same time, same location.
