The Westside Food Bank is holding its annual Holiday Food Drive to combat hunger in the neighborhoods it serves.
Until Dec. 23, the public can drop off canned goods at the food bank’s warehouse, at 1710 22nd St., Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., or by appointment.
Large barrels for food collection also are being distributed to schools, religious congregations and businesses throughout the Westside.
The Westside Food Bank supplies food to 65 social service agencies in Santa Monica, Venice, Culver City, West Los Angeles, Inglewood and West Hollywood. The food bank now reaches more than 80,000 people each year, nearly half of whom are children.
For further information or to receive a Holiday Food Drive barrel, call (310) 828- 6016, ext. 18.
