 This Thursday, April 30th, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the city of Santa Rosa is teaming up with Rev. Empire Food Bank for a drive-thru food and funds drive at Santa Rosa City Hall. In Sonoma County alone, roughly 164,000 children, seniors, and adults are projected to need food, groceries, and meals during this public health emergency. The non-perishable food you donate during the drive-thru food and funds drive will help keep our neighbors from going hungry. How does the drive-thru food and funds drive actually work? It's an easy, contact-free way to help your community in three easy steps. Step one, select non-perishable goods you would like to donate from your pantry or the grocery store. Items like canned tuna, peanut butter, and canned soups and stews are always a good choice. Place these items in a grocery bag. Step two, before heading into the food drive, empty your trunk of items you do not want to donate. Then place the bag or bags of non-perishable food in your trunk. Step three, drive to Santa Rosa City Hall parking lot which can be accessed from D Street in downtown Santa Rosa between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. to drop off your food. Simply pull into the parking lot, pop the trunk in a friendly volunteer will take your donation directly from your trunk. No need for you to get out of the car. If you wish to donate monetary funds in person, please wear your face covering, roll down your window, and drop it in the Redwood Empire Food Bank's collection jar. Or even easier still, make a donation online at srcity.org slash food drive. Thank you for helping your neighbors during this difficult time. We look forward to seeing you at the drive-through food and funds drive. With your help, we'll get through this together.
