Rotary Club’s Next Drive-thru Food Drive is Oct. 5

The Rotary Club of Pittsford’s next drive-thru food drive is scheduled Saturday (Oct. 5) from  9 am to noon at the Pittsford Sutherland High School bus loop. In addition to the Pittsford Food Cupboard, donations also will support the Joseph’s Place – Sacred Heart Cathedral Food Pantry and the Nazareth University Oak Tree Food Pantry. Rotarians and Interact Club members will be collecting at the drive rain or shine.

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. See the cupboard’s list of current needs.

The Joseph’s Place Food Pantry is a small food pantry serving residents living in the Cathedral neighborhood of Rochester who experience food insecurity.  It is a client choice food pantry, meaning each guest can make individual food choices according to distribution guidelines.

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.
