Rotary Club’s Next Drive-thru Food Drive is Aug. 1

The Rotary Club of Pittsford’s next monthly drive-thru food drive is scheduled Saturday (Aug. 1) from 9 am to noon at the Pittsford Sutherland High School bus loop. Rotarians and high school Interact Club members will be collecting at the drive rain or shine.

Donations will support the Pittsford Food Cupboard and the Nazareth University Oak Tree Food Pantry.

The Pittsford Food Cupboard plays a crucial role in addressing food insecurity within our community. Donations help ensure that local families have access to essential food items and will promote well-being and stability.

Current needs include sardines; canned chicken breast; ketchup and relish; chicken broth; pancake mix; bread crumbs; taco shells; meals in a can; small size jams or jellies; dry pet food; any cleaning supplies; and facial tissues. 

The Oak Tree Pantry serves those with food insecurity in the Nazareth community. The pantry has an ongoing need for granola bars, pasta, peanut butter, soap and other hygiene products.

The drive also will collect donations of gently used, current magazines for distribution to area human service organizations. The club conducts the drives the first Saturday of the month all year with an occasional change of date to avoid holiday and event conflicts.
