That's the whole ask. Find your school and add its item to this week's list.
I don't have a student at Lake Shore. Can I still give?
Yes. Bring food straight to Operation Good Neighbor, 2063 South Creek Road, North Evans, during drop-off hours: Monday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Thursday 8:30 to 11 a.m. Get directions
Can I send something other than my school's item?
Your school's item helps most, because each school fills a different shelf. Any sealed, unexpired food is still welcome. Right now Operation Good Neighbor needs cereal, spaghetti sauce, mac and cheese, toiletries and baby wipes the most.
When does it end?
Friday, Nov. 20 is the last day at every school. Everything goes to Operation Good Neighbor the week after, in time for Thanksgiving.
Can my family get help from the pantry?
Yes. Operation Good Neighbor is open Monday noon to 3 p.m. and Tuesday 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. Call 716-627-5194 with questions.
