It's the 2013 Food Share Canathon.
It's led by the Peoria Area
Anti-Hunger Coalition and this year's goal is 90,000 pounds of food.
Starting Monday, March 4, you can drop
off your canned goods at your local Kroger Grocery store or you can hang
donations on your door and a volunteer will collect them on March 10. President
of the Peoria Area Anti-Hunger Coalition Pepper Bauer said, "Every community
has their own group that goes door to door. In Peoria, we have a pretty good
sized group of area churches and youth but every town has people going door to
door."
If you want to help, you can fill a
bag with nonperishable and canned foods, such as chili, peanut butter, or
fruits and vegetables.
The donated goods will help fill the
shelves of local food pantries.
