The Knights of Columbus 1883 in Jamestown will hold a two-day food drive to benefit local food pantries, said Jeff Plemel, organizer of the drive.
The food drive will be on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 22-23, in the parking lot of St. James Basilica. The drive will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Oct. 22 and 8 a.m. to noon on Oct. 23.
Cash, nonperishable food and essential items such as diapers and paper products will be accepted, Plemel said. The Knights of Columbus will match up to $6,000 in cash donations. People may also donate money by check, made out to Council 1883.
“We’ll have a trailer set up out there and we’ll be there to take their donations,” Plemel said. People can remain in their vehicles while their nonperishable or other items are unloaded.
