CARBONDALE – Kicking off this week of Valentine’s Day through the month of February (Feb. 9-28), The City of Carbondale is hosting the ‘Share the Love, City-Wide Food Drive’ to support The Good Samaritan House Food Pantry, Bethel AME Feed My Sheep Soup Kitchen, and the SIU Food Pantry.

Share the Love by donating non-perishable food items to these participating locations:

– The Carbondale Civic Center (Mon. – Fri. 8 a.m.-5 p.m.)

– The Carbondale Police Department (Mon. – Fri. 8 a.m.-5 p.m.)

– The Carbondale Fire Department (Stations 1 & 2, Mon. – Fri. 8 a.m.-5 p.m.)

– Walmart (Every Day, 6 a.m.-11 p.m.)

– Kroger (Every Day, 6 a.m.-10 p.m.)

Mayor Harvey says “I wanted to launch this City-Wide Food Drive during the month of February to supply food beyond the months we traditionally think of. During November-December, there are always food drives around the Holidays, but people are hungry year round. With Valentine’s coming up, we think of February as the month of love, and this a great way to show your love for your fellow citizens here in Carbondale.”
