North Valley Food Bank launches winter food drive

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, North Valley Food Bank is holding its fourth annual winter food drive and fundraiser: FEED LOVE. 

In 2023, North Valley Food Bank served 781 new families and recorded just under 20,000 pantry visits, doubling the number of visits over the past two years. To address the growing number of local residents who need food assistance, the food bank holds the annual FEED LOVE Food Drive from Feb. 2 through Feb. 16.

During this time, North Valley Food Bank will be collecting non-perishable “comfort food” such as soups, stews, pasta, nut butter, cornbread mix, baking supplies, and other items that will help families and seniors thrive in the cold weather.
