Letter To The Editor: Alpine Cares Holiday Food Drive

Dear Patch,

My name is Isabella Assalone, and as part of a Community Service project, I want to lead an Alpine Cares Holiday Food Drive by collecting non-perishable food donations for the Rhode Island Community Foodbank on Sunday, Dec. 17 .

To help make your donation as easy as possible, I’ll have several Rhode Island Community Foodbank barrels placed towards the end of my driveway at 261 Alpine Estates Drive on Sunday, Dec. 17. If you’re able to make a donation of any size, please drive by and drop it off between the hours of 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. In addition, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., I’ll be passing out special treats.

Most-Needed Non-Perishable Food Items

Peanut butter Canned & dried beans
Whole wheat pasta Boxed macaroni & cheese
Tuna Brown rice
Tomato sauce Canned soups & stews
Canned fruits & vegetables Breakfast cereals
Granola bars Extra virgin olive oil

Happy Holidays and thank you in advance.
