The Community Resource Center of Chattooga is asking for help keeping its pantry shelves stocked as more local families continue to rely on the organization for assistance.

CRC says August was a busy month, with many neighbors coming through the pantry and causing some of the most commonly requested items to move quickly.

The organization is encouraging churches, workplaces, Sunday School classes, civic groups and groups of friends to consider holding a simple food or supply drive.

Items especially needed right now include peanut butter, jelly, canned fruit, canned proteins such as chicken or tuna, toilet paper, paper towels and other everyday household essentials.

CRC says a large-scale drive is not necessary. Even a few people collecting a few items each can help keep the pantry ready for the next person or family who needs assistance.

Donations can be taken to the Community Resource Center of Chattooga, 50 Eleanor Avenue in Summerville.

The National Association of Letter Carriers will hold its annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive on Saturday, May 9.

Now in its 34th year, the nationwide one-day food drive helps stock local food pantries at a time when many supplies are running low heading into summer.

Residents can participate by placing a bag of non-perishable food donations by their mailbox on Saturday, May 9. Letter carriers will collect the donations during their regular routes, and the food will go directly to local pantries helping families in need.

Organizers say more than 47 million Americans face food insecurity, including millions of children and seniors. Since the food drive began, letter carriers have helped collect more than 1.94 billion pounds of food nationwide.

Customers are encouraged to check with their letter carrier or local post office to confirm participation in their area.
