If you are part of a hunger relief organization, you can sign
up to receive food from this year's drive
Every year on the second weekend in May, Collier
Harvest participates in the National Association of Letter Carriers
(NALC) Food Drive in the Naples area. Working with local letter
carriers, we collected and distributed over 200,000 pounds of non-perishable
foods in May 2007. The NALC drive is instrumental to ensure that
food pantries across the area are well stocked over the summer
months. The 2007 NALC Drive represents the 16th year that postal
workers have held their nationwide food drive in over 10,000 cities
in the US and over 71 million pounds of food have been collected
to feed the hungry in the our nation.
Various groups and churches call upon Collier
Harvest to help distribute foods collected from their food drives.
We are currently
looking to develop additional food drives in the early Fall so
that no one goes hungry over the pre-holiday period when food pantries
are often at their lowest levels of the year. If you are interested
in helping us develop a Fall food drive, please contact
us for
more information.
Normally we welcome
most wholesome food donations. However, during the annual food
drive we can only accept non-perishable
foods because the food drive helps agencies stockpile
food through the summer months. Collier Harvest is always happy
to coordinate pick-up and distribution
of your surplus foods.
