Local giving in action: Community food and toy drive

SHARE NOW

A local grassroots community group is hosting the Logan County Food Drive on Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Grange Building on the Logan County Fairgrounds in Bellefontaine.

This event is a chance for neighbors to come together and make a difference, supporting families, children, and pets across the county.

All donations collected will go directly to local pantries and organizations serving the community, including:

  • Buckeye Gospel Barn
  • Give-n-Take
  • Wake Up the World
  • Lutheran Community Services
  • United Christian Services
  • Bellefontaine First Church of God
  • Five Loaves

Organizers are seeking a variety of items to meet the needs of local families.

Community members are encouraged to donate:

  • Nonperishable food
  • Frozen meat
  • Toys for the Toys for Tots program
  • Dog food
  • Winter clothing

In addition, the new Animal Shelter has shared specific needs, including:

  • Cat food
  • Kitty litter

Volunteers—including high school students—will be on hand to assist, even in the cold, so you can simply drive through and donate.
