FISH
announces 4th Annual “Feed Darke County”
Food Drive
The
Greenville FISH organization is currently
engaged in an extreme food drive to help stock their pantry which
provides food
to local citizens with limited resources. The food drive, dubbed FEED
DARKE
COUNTY by the ecumenical volunteer organization, was launched on
September
15th in conjunction with the Illumination Festival at the Darke
County
Fair grounds, and will close on Saturday, October 20.
“The need
is great, and our resources are
becoming depleted. During this harvest season, we are hoping that
generous
Darke Countians will once again donate as they are able so that we can
continue
to serve our neighbors,” said FISH Coordinator Kristy Cutarelli.
Donations of
non-perishable food items may be delivered to the FISH Choice Pantry,
400
Markwith Avenue, Greenville, at anytime, and dropped off in the box
located at
the rear of the building. A Harvest Day Celebration will be held from 9
a.m.
until 12 noon on the final day of the drive; all donors are invited to
participate in the celebration.
FISH has
served local citizens since 1967, and
currently operates the Choice Pantry, which is open Mondays from 1 p.m.
till 2
p.m., Wednesdays 10 a.m. till 11 a.m., and Fridays 4 p.m. till 5 p.m.
Donations
are welcome at any time throughout the year. In 2011, FISH served 3,085
households; this year has thus far seen a 26% increase in
participation. For more
information or to make different arrangements for donations, contact
Ms.
Cutarelli at 937-316-8420 or
leave a message on the FISH phone at 548-2000.
