2/7/14 - After learning of the emergency food shortage at it's pantry, members of the community are coming together to collect donations for a local non-profit that helps others every day. The Salvation Army of Livingston County issued a challenge earlier this week to help restock the bare shelves of its food pantry during the entire month of February. The community is already stepping up and Brighton Ford has organized an emergency food drive, Fill-A-Ford, at the Brighton VGâs this Saturday. Flyers will be passed out to customers and donations of non-perishable food will be collected from 9am until 3pm. Officials at the local Salvation Army say the drop in donations is attributed to the cold winter and more people staying inside, resulting in fewer donations to its food pantry. In addition to Saturdayâs food drive, donations can be dropped off at the Salvation Armyâs 503 Lake Street offices in Howell. More information can be found on the Salvation Army of Livingston Countyâs Facebook page. A link is also posted below. (JM)
