From now until June 10, Bartell Drugs, in partnership with Food Lifeline, will be collecting food for local food banks. The drive is focused on replenishing supplies for food banks for the summer months, when families that normally depend on free or reduced-price school meals struggle to provide meals at home.
Bartell Drugs is suggesting food items like tuna, instant oatmeal, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, cheese crackers, applesauce and canned fruit. Other useful items to donate include baby formula, diapers, baby food (boxes or plastic tubs only) and personal care items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, tissues, shampoo, conditioner, soap and feminine hygiene products.
