Food Drive to Help Rockland County Families

As part of National Hunger Action Month, The Shops at Nanuet is teaming up with Rockland County relief organization People to People by hosting a food collection drive to benefit needy Rockland County families.

Local residents looking to donate are asked to bring non-perishable items, which can be dropped off from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Saturday, September 27 at Nanuet Plaza, across from Kay Jewelers.

“Hunger knows no boundaries and its impact unfortunately can be felt among families right here in our own community,” said Briana Puncar, director of marketing and business development for The Shops at Nanuet. “We are pleased to be working in conjunction with People to People to support this important endeavor.”

Among the types of non-perishable items most often in need include:

• Canned Goods – fruits, vegetables, soups, pasta and sauce
• Dry Foods – rice, milk, cereal, pasta, soup cups, macaroni & cheese
• Jarred/Bottled Food – peanut butter, jelly, spaghetti sauce, juices, juice mix
• Snack Foods – cereal bars, fruit snacks, packaged crackers
