Gleaners Food Bank’s city-wide food drive is happening this weekend.

Donations of non-perishable food and financial gifts will be accepted in a drive-through format at the food bank’s warehouse at 25 Wallbridge Crescent in Belleville from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 4 and Sunday, October 5.

Trenton’s Care and Share Food Bank is not running a city-wide food drive this year, however officials say the need is still significant. Officials are encouraging individuals and teams to take on their own mini-food drives at their workplaces, during their social gatherings or even when visiting the grocery store.
