Shelter Inc. Thanksgiving food drive helps homeless

By The Pioneer 5 years ago

The annual Thanksgiving Food Drive by Shelter Inc. aims to ensure that anyone struggling with homelessness has a Thanksgiving meal.

The Concord-based homeless services organization will be collecting non-perishable food for those in need through Nov. 22.

The food drive culminates on Nov. 23, when more than 100 volunteers sort and pack 300 plus food boxes. Then Shelter Inc. delivers them directly to families in need around the Bay Area in time for their Thanksgiving meals.

Contributions can be delivered 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday through Nov. 22 at 1333 Willow Pass Road, Suite 206, Concord. For a shopping list of needed items, visit ­shelterinc.org/support.
