The City of Canyon Lake is inviting the community to “Spring Into Giving” with a Food and Essentials Drive from April 2 through April 10.
This initiative aims to support local families in need by collecting nonperishable food and essential hygiene products to be evenly distributed to three local food pantries: The Concerned Family, Helping Hands, and the Dream Center Food Pantry. These organizations play a vital role in providing meals and essentials to those in need, and with the community’s support, the city hopes to make an even greater impact.
Residents are encouraged to donate nonperishable, shelf-stable foods and personal hygiene products.
Donations will be accepted from April 2 through April 10, Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at Canyon Lake City Hall, located at 31516 Railroad Canyon Rd.
Suggested food items include:
- Cereal, oatmeal, and granola bars
- Peanut butter and jelly
- Canned fruits and vegetables
- Canned meats (tuna, chicken, salmon, SPAM)
- Boxed mac and cheese, pasta, and instant rice
- Instant mashed potatoes and stuffing mix
