 "When the job market is strained, more people need help from week to
week to feed their families. Many of our communities are having a
tough time keeping the shelves stocked at food pantries, and we’re
doing what we can to help," said Scott Carlon, director of
marketing.Donations will be accepted though Oct. 31 at all Ben
Tire/Neal Tire locations during normal business hours. Acceptable
items include canned meats, canned fruits and vegetables, peanut
butter, canned and boxed meals, canned or dried beans, pasta, rice
and cereal.
To guarantee food safety, items that will not be accepted
include: rusty or unlabeled cans, perishable items, noncommercial
canned items, noncommercial packaged items and opened or used cans.

"This effort is about helping to sustain the health and welfare of
local communities," Carlon added. "We encourage people to donate
healthy and nutritious food items that have been recently purchased
-- items you would give a friend or a family member in need."
