Des Moines Area Food Bank founder Kris Van Gasken will speak at the North Hill Community Club’s monthly meeting this coming Tuesday, Nov. 10, where attendees can bring food donations for Thanksgiving.
The meeting starts at 7 p.m. at the club’s recently painted clubhouse at 20827 Third Ave South (map below).
The club said peanut butter, tuna, pasta and macaroni and cheese are among the items the food bank needs most.
The food bank welcomes individuals and families from Des Moines, SeaTac and Kent’s West Hill. Shoppers can choose from bread, produce and a variety of canned, dry, fresh and frozen foods, according to the club.
The food bank picked up more than 1.8 million pounds of donated food last year, the club said. Financial contributions help the nonprofit buy additional food at wholesale and bulk prices.
More information about the meeting is available from the North Hill Community Club.
