www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday March 28, 2007 - 7 Fareshare's Easter food drive begins this Saturday Oakville's Fareshare Food Bank will kick off its annual Easter Food Drive Saturday. The first of its two large annual food drives will continue until Sunday, April 15. Fareshare depends on this food drive to stock its shelves with non-perishable food items to last much of the year. So far in 2007, Fareshare is assisting an average 310 families, or 1,100 people, half of whom are children. The families visit the food bank once per month and receive about a week's worth of groceries. It is possible to donate to the Easter Food Drive in a number of ways. Fareshare will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday to Saturday during the drive. Usually Fareshare is open only on Monday (from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.) and Thursday (from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.) All Oakville fire stations will also accept donations to Fareshare and the food bank has bins at Oakville grocery stores into which residents can contribute food. Student volunteers will hand out paper bags to be filled with donations at the Real Canadian Superstore. And many local schools also hold food drives for Fareshare. "While donations of all nonperishable foods will be welcome, the items we invariably run short of are canned fruit, canned vegetables, except corn, canned tomatoes and instant coffee," said Fareshare volunteer director Dudley Clarke. Donations of money are also welcome and are used to buy perishable items and vouchers given to clients to buy milk and fruit at local grocery stores. To donate visit Fareshare at 1240 Speers Rd., Unit 6, call 905847-3988, or drop donations at any fire station or grocery store Fareshare bin. & Make Your Home Comfort More Affordable LENNOX SALE CENTRAL AIR & FURNACE ® Take The ETF Challenge Exchange Traded Funds (ET institutional investors, they they are big with astute indi not big with?
