It's the annual Thanksgiving Fall Food Drive.
Executive Director Myles Vanni says they're in great need of cereal, pasta sauce, canned fruit, school snack items and hygiene products.
He says there has been an increased in need locally, so donations are vital

Donations can be made at most area grocery stores, fire halls, The Good Shepherd's Lodge on Confederation St. and The Inn of the Good Shepherd on John St.
