DIAMOND BAR, CA — Community members can help local families and shelter animals this holiday season by donating nonperishable food and pet supplies through Monday, Dec. 7 in two donation drives organized by members of the city's DB4Youth program, the city announced on Friday.

The City of Diamond Bar encouraged residents to contribute items to help support a local food pantry and the Inland Valley Humane Society.

Donation boxes, decorated by DB4Youth members, include lists of requested items and are available at three locations:

• Diamond Bar City Hall, 21810 Copley Drive, first floor.
