CARBONDALE – Kicking off this week of Valentine’s Day through the month of February (Feb. 9-28)
The City of Carbondale is hosting the ‘Share the Love, City-Wide Food Drive’ to support The Good
Samaritan House Food Pantry, Bethel AME Feed My Sheep Soup Kitchen, and the SIU Food Pantry.
Share the Love by donating non-perishable food items to these participating locations:
-The Carbondale Civic Center (Mon. – Fri. 8am-5pm)
-The Carbondale Police Department (Mon. – Fri. 8am-5pm)
-The Carbondale Fire Department (Stations 1 & 2, Mon. – Fri. 8am-5pm)
-Wal-Mart (Every Day, 6am-11pm)
-Kroger (Every Day, 6am-10pm)
Mayor Harvey says “I wanted to launch this City-Wide Food Drive during the month of February to
supply food beyond the months we traditionally think of. During November-December, there are always
food drives around the Holidays, but people are hungry year round. With Valentine’s coming up, we
think of February as the month of love, and this a great way to show your love for your fellow citizens
here in Carbondale.”
