The office located at 488 Springfield Avenue will accept both food and checks as donations beginning Sunday, May 8, 2011 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., Monday, May 9 through Wednesday, May 11.  2 – 7 p.m. Volunteers will be on-hand to accept donations curbside.  On May 12 the collections will be delivered to the Community Foodbank by Keller Williams associates.
