City of Edmond supports community food drive

The City of Edmond is partnering on the launch of the Edmond Community Holiday Food Drive, a citywide effort to support Project 66 Food and Resource Center, a local nonprofit food pantry serving individuals and families in need throughout the Edmond area.

From now through Dec. 19, residents and businesses throughout Edmond are invited to participate by donating nonperishable food items at select City of Edmond locations. All donations collected through the food drive will be delivered directly to Project 66 to help stock their shelves during the holiday season – a time when the need for food assistance is especially great.

Donation boxes will be available at participating City of Edmond facilities, including:

Edmond City Hall, located at 22 E Main St.

Multi-Activity Center (MAC) at Mitch Park, located at 2733 Marilyn Williams Dr.

North Timbers/Utility Customer Service Office, located at 2824 Progressive Dr.

Anyone looking to help is encouraged to donate items such as canned vegetables and fruits, soups, pasta, rice, cooking oil, household cleaning products, and other nonperishable foods. Project 66 also welcomes monetary donations, which help cover facility needs and allow the organization to purchase food items at reduced costs. If you choose to give online, please include “City of Edmond” in the comment section so we can track our community’s collective impact.

Every contribution, big or small, helps brighten the holidays for local families. Join the City of Edmond in sharing kindness and hope this season through the Edmond Community Holiday Food Drive.
