Food campaign raises local money
Published 9:25 am Thursday, March 3, 2016
The Ecumenical Food Pantry in Albert Lea is once again partnering with the Minnesota FoodShare March campaign. This is the 34th year of coordinating the largest grassroots food and fund drive to help restock Minnesota food shelves.
The Ecumenical Food Pantry serves an average of about 200 households a month and is open from 9 to 11:45 a.m. Tuesdays and Fridays. The pantry is at First Presbyterian Church, 308 Water St. in Albert Lea. Volunteers are the heart of the Ecumenical Food Pantry and come from many area churches. This means all of your donations of food and money stay in Freeborn County to benefit those who need your help.
Checks may be made payable to Ecumenical Food Pantry and mailed to 308 Water St., Albert Lea, MN 56007. Food donations may be dropped off there also.
Please consider helping our friends and neighbors during our March campaign.
