‘Love and Fishes’ Needs Canned Goods
The Salvation Army Food Pantry, which provides food for many of the under privilege locally, is running out of food due in part to need that has tripled in the past two years. St. Bede School sixth grade class, Boy Scout Troop 507 and the Crescenta Cañada Rotary Club have teamed up for a food drive titled “Love and Fishes.” The goal is to collect as many cans of tuna possible between now and the end of March. Canned food can be dropped off at Crescenta Valley Insurance on the corner of Foothill and Pennsylvania. The canned food will be presented to the Salvation Army at their Annual Hoop Hero’s Game on April 1 at the Glendale High School Gym. The event will be held from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
