Food drive scheduled

The outreach committee for The Church of the Transfiguration is sponsoring a local food drive on Friday and Saturday, November 16-17 at Ray's Food Place in Sisters.

The hours are Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Each year the outreach committee hosts this food drive to enhance the Sisters Kiwanis food pantry for the holiday season. The Kiwanis food pantry distributed over 100 food baskets serving over 313 individuals in the past quarter.

The need for food has increased over the past year by 10 to 20 percent, according to food bank workers.

The Sisters Kiwanis food pantry is open on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The pantry is located at 225 N. Oak St., 549-4112.
