Food drive benefits North Shore-Truckee

Chase International is teaming up with Boy Scout Troop 37 and Project MANA to help with Scouting for Food, the organizations’ annual food drive on Nov. 7.

Scouts will pick up food items between 8am and 2pm.

All donated food will be distributed to families throughout the North Tahoe-Truckee area by Project MANA at its weekly mobile food distribution.

Due to the limited size of the troop, homes located north of Lake Tahoe, east of Highway 431 and west of Country Club Drive will be visited. Residents living outside that area are encouraged to call 775.298.1856 in advance to request a special pickup.

Items may also be be dropped off at Chase International’s Incline Village office at 917 Tahoe Blvd., Suite 100.

Food items needed include canned fruits, canned vegetables, canned tuna, nuts, peanut butter, dry pasta, soup, chili, instant oatmeal, rice, and dried beans (no glass containers and no expired items).

For information about the food drive, call 775.831.7300.
