The Back Mountain Chamber, with support from its members, local merchants, area schools, banks and more, has launched its annual Spring Food Drive to benefit the Back Mountain Food Pantry.
“The Food Drive Committee of the Back Mountain Chamber will launch a three-week long community-wide food drive beginning March 4. Collection containers will be placed throughout the Back Mountain at businesses, banks, schools, etc. All food and monetary donation will be donated to the Back Mountain Food Pantry which benefits families in the Dallas and Lake-Lehman School Districts.” said Bill Race, co-chair.
This is the fourth year for the Chamber’s Spring Food Drive and members ask the public to support it once again as the goal is to collect several tons of food. All non-perishable items will be accepted. Monetary donations may be made payable to the Back Mountain Food Pantry and mailed directly to the Back Mountain Chamber at 1192 Twin Stacks Drive, Dallas, PA 18612.
