GREENBRIER COUNTY W.Va. (WVDN) – The Greenbrier County Democratic Republican Club and the Greenbrier County Democratic Women’s Club announce a cooperative event designed to fill the ten food pantries in Greenbrier County. Hunger recognizes no political boundaries, and the county’s need for food and basic items continues to grow.
Between Wednesday, November 1 through Thursday, November 16, two drop-off sites will be available:
Lewisburg – OLD STONE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, LEWISBURG (entrance on Foster Street) Tuesday and Thursday – 2-4 p.m.
Rupert – MARVEL CENTER CAFETERIA, RUPERT (411 Cranberry Ave.) Monday and Wednesday – 2-4 p.m.
Everything collected will be equally divided among the ten food pantries in Greenbrier County. The food pantries have regular distribution dates and locations and provide immediate help in a hunger emergency.
While all types of non-perishable food are welcome, the greatest needs are toilet paper, cleaning supplies, hygiene items (toothpaste, toothbrushes, feminine products), canned fruit, condiments, healthy snacks, jelly and jam, and canned meats. Meat and some produce are received monthly from the Mountaineer Food Bank (the largest emergency food provider in West Virginia), which receives shipments from the United States Department of Agriculture.
Monetary contributions are always welcome to assist Food Banks in purchasing additional critical items. Checks may be sent to Greenbrier County Democratic Women’s Club, PO Box 1497, Lewisburg, WV 24901. Please note FOOD DRIVE on the memo line.
