Canned food drive March 11, 2024 meeting

LARC is a proud supporter of Volunteers In Service to the Elderly (VISTE).  In the past, we have held canned food drives to help support their mission to help feed those less fortunate than ourselves.  With the economy the way it is, food banks have suffered significantly in donations.  For the March 11th meeting, we are asking members to bring one or more canned food items to help build their food bank to support the elderly population that depends on them.  If you wish, monetary donations are also welcome.  

Thanks!

The LARC Board
