Foothill Unity Food Bank Desperately Needs Donations

The local charity is having a fundraiser later this month and bags for food donations are being made available at city hall.

Monrovia's provides food and a whole host of other services to needy local residents, and right now the charity has a need of its own.

"Their food banks are realy, really low," Councilwoman Becky Shevlin said during Tuesday's council meeting. "They really need our donations, they really need our help."

Shevlin is making paper bags available at city hall for residents to use for donations.
