DeKalb holding food drive
DeKalb County Commissioner Kathie Gannon and Solicitor Sherry Boston have kicked off a food drive to help residents struggling in the new year.
Donations of non-perishable food items will be donated to the Atlanta Community Food Bank, which distributes to more than 58,000 families in the metro area weekly. High-protein items such as tuna and peanut butter are especially needed, as are fruit juices and canned vegetables.
Food collection barrels will be set up through Feb. 28 in the lobbies of county buildings in Decatur: the Maloof Building, 1300 Commerce Dr.; the Clark Harrison Building, 330 W. Ponce de Leon Ave.; the DeKalb County Courthouse, N. McDonough St.; and the Tax Commissioner’s office, 4380 Memorial Dr.
