The Sissy's 50th Anniversary Food Drive kicks off Oct. 30 and will run through Nov. 13. The food drive is part of Sissy’s Log Cabin’s efforts to increase access to healthy food throughout its communities this holiday season.
Each Sissy’s Log Cabin location will host individual food drives. Donations made at each store will remain in the respective communities.
Every dollar donated helps provide 5 meals.
A drawing will take place at the conclusion of the drive and participants will receive one entry per 10 food items or $10 donated.
One winner from each Sissy’s Log Cabin store will receive the Sissy's Log Cabin exclusive Lagos 50th Anniversary Bracelet.
The Sissy's 50th Anniversary Food Drive focuses on healthy, nutritious foods. Participants may collect nonperishable foods including high protein foods such as canned or dry beans, peanut butter, canned tuna and salmon. Also in demand are grains (such as brown and white rice, pasta, and macaroni and cheese), hot and cold cereal, canned vegetables, canned fruit, dried fruits, 100 percent juice drinks, granola bars and soups.
