Donors may drop off nonperishable food items in 1 cans, boxes or bags in the Food Drop Boxes located on each floor of Building 51. local restaurant European Street’s Riverside location has a barrel set up for contributions, giving donors a bit of an added incentive. With one can, donors get a free soft drink. And by tossing in two cans, a free short beer for you. Five cans? Hot diggity, then you’ve scored yourself a free tall beer. “The city has been very supportive of our restaurant,” said European Street’s 2 manager Billy Speckman of its first drive. “We wanted to return the favor and give back to those less fortunate.”

Winn-Dixie Inc. and the Jacksonville Jaguars teamed up to host their 15th annual food drive. Donors can drop off food items at any participating Winn-Dixie store through Nov. 8. Also, on the Nov. 8 game day, a barrel will be set up at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium for further philan- 3 thropic opportunities. These donations benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank, Chynoweth said. The Second Harvest Food Bank reigns as a particularly effective organization, having distributed more than 2 billion pounds of food to deserving people annually.

donors may drop off nonperishable food items at any Jacksonville-area Watson Realty Corp office through Nov. 10. This drive supports the Salvation Army’s mission to stuff the hungry’s 4 mouths with delicious cans o’ beans and the sort, according to the HandsOn Jacksonville Web site.

Starting Dec. 1 and running through Dec. 20, both Jacksonville Adventure Landing (on Blanding Boulevard and Beach Boulevard) locations plan to collect canned food donations. For the first three 5 cans donated, you may receive four arcade tokens per can, according to Adventure Landing’s Web site.
