Danville Church Hosts Holiday Food Drive For Needy

DANVILLE, CA — Help fill 500 food baskets for neighbors in need this holiday season by contributing to the St. Isidore Church Knights of Columbus Council food drive.

People may donate canned food, dry food or cash, said Edward Indelicato of the council. The council is supplying a frozen turkey, fresh vegetables and other items, he said. People are asked to refrain from bringing glass items.

Knights of Columbus will assemble and deliver the baskets, which will feed a family of four for up to two weeks, Indelicato said.

Food drives will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Nov. 22, Nov. 29 and Dec. 9 at the St. Isidore Church north parking lot (440 La Gonda Way). Pop your trunk and volunteers will collect donated items, he said.

Donors may also write checks to "Knights of Columbus" and send them to 440 La Gonda Way. Cash will be used to purchase needed items.

Patch has partnered with Feeding America to help raise awareness on behalf of the millions of Americans facing hunger. Feeding America, which supports 200 food banks across the country, estimates that in 2020, more than 50 million Americans will not have enough nutritious food to eat due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. This is a Patch social good project; Feeding America receives 100 percent of donations. Find out how you can donate in your community or find a food pantry near you.
