Pat Stephens and Bill Hoel, along with other LaCrosse area Rotarians, have organized a Virus Food Drive to take place every Friday starting April 17th through May 29th.
Each drive will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and each week will be at one of 3 locations throughout the area. Those sites are Valley View Mall by Barnes and Noble, Big Lots and The La Crosse County Building.
To save confusion, Pat Stephens is going to be the clearinghouse for sign ups.
The food drive will be a DRIVE THROUGH style.
La Crosse County Health Department is teaming up with iFeed, Rotary, and Rotary Lights to hold “Food Drive Fridays”, a drive-thru style food drive where donors don’t get out of their vehicles
Collections will be held every Friday from 11am-1pm starting on Friday, April 17th through the end of May 2020. (April 17 & 24, May 1, 8, 15, 22, 29)

Non-perishable foods are running dangerously low at The Hunger Task Force, and with the postponement of the National Letter Carrier’s Stamp Out Hunger food drive, they are in desperate need of canned goods for the programs they serve. Canned items needed include meats (tuna, chicken), peanut butter, soup, fruit, boxed side dishes (stuffing, rices, potatoes), breakfast items (cereal, oatmeal, etc), canned ravioli & spaghettios, pasta & pasta sauce. We believe that everyone deserves to have access to food and essentials, especially in times of uncertainty.
