Thursday November 17, 2011 | By:Metro Source Staff | News
The Lancaster Volunteer Ambulance Corps (LVAC) in partnership with the Office of Emergency Management (OEM), is holding a food drive to support the Trinity Food Pantry from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19. Collection will occur at the TOPS in the D&L Plaza and at Wal Mart on Transit Road at William Street.
“Part of our mission is to help improve the quality of life of those in our community. The pantry has a similar mission to ours and is in dire need of help," explained LVAC Director Allison Revelas.
Representatives from the OEM and LVAC will be present at both locations taking collections of non-perishable food items, toiletries, and monetary donations.
“We’re asking people to keep in mind the families which may be struggling currently, and to pick up a few extra items while they do their shopping. The Trinity Pantry is right here in Lancaster and serves our friends and neighbors,” remarked EMT-I Andy Gangloff.
The LVAC Explorer Post will be actively involved in the event, providing blood pressure checks. High blood pressure affects more than 900 million worldwide. LVAC recommends having it checked on a regular basis.
This event will occur rain or shine so please show your support for the Trinity Food Pantry and the families it serves by stopping by to see the OEM and LVAC at either location.
