Attention Gardeners! Food Bank
August and September
The Woodbury Food Bank is accepting vegetable, fruit and herb donations from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on Thursdays and Fridays during August and September. 

Donations should be delivered to the Woodbury Food Bank, located at the rear of the LaBonne’s shopping plaza. Local families facing economic hardships in meeting their basic nutritional needs benefit greatly from home gardeners’ produce donations. 

There is also a need for juice boxes, canned corn beef hash, and canned chili, but certainly all donations are welcome. More than 140 families rely on Woodbury Community Services for food. Thank you!
