Food drive to support Pittsford Food Cupboard

The Rotary Club of Pittsford’s next food drive is March 6 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Spiegel Pittsford Community Center parking lot, 35 Lincoln Ave. in Pittsford.

The club partners with the Town of Pittsford for the drives, where volunteers will collect canned and packaged goods for the Pittsford Food Cupboard. The drive also will support Pittsford Youth Services and Ronald McDonald House Charities of Rochester, which provides support for families who need to be near their children while receiving health care in Rochester. The specific needs for the Ronald McDonald House are microwavable cups of soup; granola bars; Ramen noodles; applesauce; tuna; single-serving snacks; and mac & cheese.

Pittsford Youth Services will be selling masks to support its annual “Duck Drop” and will be handing out information about the organization’s services.

The collectors will be on hand rain or shine and will be taking precautionary measures such as wearing face coverings and gloves and maintaining safe distances. 

Future food drives are scheduled at the same time and location April 3 and May 1.
