As of January 2011, 77 percent of the children in Marshall and Ohio counties are going hungry every night, only getting meals at school. Here is what you can do to help!
From July 14th to August 20th, RSVP After School Adventures Program is hosting a food drive. With your help, we are going to feed 60 children of the Benwood-McMechen community for 36 weeks.
Suggested foods to be donated include canned/dried fruit, canned vegetables, canned soups, canned beans, jelly/jams, oatmeal (packets), dry cereals, rice, pasta, Raman noodles, peanut butter and macaroni and cheese.
Donations may be dropped off at your nearest participating church or at 2200 South Marshall Street, Suite 18, in Benwood.
For more information or if you would like to volunteer, please contact Alina Hopkins at (304) 905-0673 or by e-mail at ahopkins@rsvpwv.org.
