Wherever you drop off, please call or text to let the person know you are coming.  
 
To make this collection a bit more interesting, we are offering a bag of goodies from a local farm market to the person who donates the goods that weigh the most in total. Gary & Jean will have scales available when you drop your food/supplies off to record your total.
