Still time to help Fareshare The annual Easter food drive is a struggle this year at Fareshare food bank. Even after the Easter weekend, Fareshare's volunteer executive director Dudley Clark, who had hoped the weekend would prove fruitful, was declaring the drive to be in need of help. Clark has reported the drive is down, not by hundreds, but thousands of pounds of food compared to previous years. It's a trend that is being experienced by food banks across the GTA. The Fareshare drive began Saturday, March 27 and continues through Sunday, April 11. Fareshare depends on this campaign to stock shelves for the spring, summer and early fall. It has also seen its client visits average 377 per month -- or approximately 1,200 people. March numbers were at 387 visits. All non-perishable donations are welcome including canned fruit, canned vegetables (except corn), cookies and crackers, vegetable oil, canned stew, junior baby food, baby formula and desserts. Cash donations are also accepted to buy items that run low and purchase fresh foods like milk, meat and produce. Donations can be dropped off at the food bank located at 1240 Speers Rd., Unit 6, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday to Saturday, at all Oakville fire stations and in all Oakville supermarkets where collection bins have been provided by Fareshare. 5 · Friday, April 9, 2010 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.oakvillebeaver.com Weekend Inside Opinion............................................6 Living.............................................36 Artscene.........................................38 Sports.............................................44 Classified........................................51 For home delivery & customer service call (905) 845-9742 Mon., Tues. 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Wed., Thu., and Fri. 9 a.m.-7 p.m. (open for calls only after 5 p.m.) Closed Sat. and Sun.
