You May Be Hungry 'Cause You Missed A Meal.
But Even In Weston, People Go Hungry 'Cause They Can't Afford The Food To Prepare A Meal.
This Saturday, November 22, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Weston Kiwanis will be conducting their food drive for our Weston Food Pantry at the Weston Shopping Center outside of Lily's Weston Market and Weston Pharmacy.
Whether you fill our totes with shelf-stable food, or our donation containers with donations to supplement the food collections, you'll be helping to ensure that this holiday season, all Weston families will have food on their tables.
Whatever the weather, we hope to see you at our Kiwanis food drive, so Weston families in need know that Kiwanis and the food pantry will always be there to support them.
Weston Kiwanis. Community Service and Support Is What We're All About.
