The South River Food Bank typically sees an increased need for assistance this time of year. In order to help them continue to assist residents in need, the South River Police Department is hosting a “Cram the Cruiser” food drive to help keep their shelves stocked.

Donations of non-perishable food items can be dropped off in the collection bin in the lobby of South River Police Headquarters (61 Main Street) from now until December 20th.

Suggested items for donation include: peanut butter, jelly, pasta, canned tuna, meals in a can (soup, stew, chili), pork & beans, canned vegetables, cereal, pasta sauce, baking mixes, canned meats, meal mixes (hamburger helper etc.), nuts, rice-a-roni, trail mixes, oatmeal, cereal, granola bars, sugar, powdered milk, and any packaged, non-perishable food items.

If you can’t make our food drive but would like to support the South River Food Bank, donations can be dropped off at the South River Food Bank (98 Jackson Street) during the following times:

- Saturdays: 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM
- Tuesdays: 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM
- Tuesdays: 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM
- Wednesdays: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM

For safety reasons, they are unable to accept donations left outside of the building at any other time.
