Food Drive on Saturday

CVHS robotics team will host a drive-through food drive on Saturday, Sept. 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Crescenta Valley High School parking lot at the southeast corner of Ramsdell and Community avenues. Non-perishable food items are being collected that will benefit the Bailey Human Care Center.

Community members are asked to enter the parking lot from Ramsdell, pull forward to a donation table, and “pop the trunk;” CV robotics team members will accept all donations in a socially responsible and COVID-safe manner. Donations of paper and plastic grocery bags will also be accepted as the Bailey Center uses these to distribute food to their clients.

Finally, anyone who has surplus ripe fruit or vegetables from their garden can bring those as donations as well. All donations will help care for those in need in the local community.
