Canned Food Drive - Central Contra Costa Libraries
Republic Services is partnering with the Food Bank and RecycleSmart to host a summer Canned Food Drive this July! Summer is often when the Food Bank has the least donations, as much of the local food drives are centered around the winter holiday season. The community can donate canned food to barrels located in library lobbies in Walnut Creek, Danville, Lafayette, Orinda and Moraga branches until July 21. We will also be collecting bagged, canned food donations for single-family home residents of our RecycleSmart service area the week of July 17-21 in Lafayette, Orinda, and Moraga on your service day. www.RepublicServices.com
