The Arc/ Quad Cities Disability Coalition hosting food drive in May
The Arc of the Quad Cities and the Quad Cities Disability Awareness Coalition are holding a two-week community-wide food drive to address food insecurity, in honor of Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of service to others. The Coalition is made up of disability service providers who will administer the food drive by picking up food items and dropping them off at Quad City food pantries.
Donations can be dropped off at the locations in the table below between Tuesday, May 7 and Tuesday, May 21. Donations can be left in collection boxes at the sites.
“This is a true community-wide food drive,” says Sarah Wright, Chief Development Officer for The Arc. “This project is unique in that it enjoys a wide capacity because of the wide-ranging partnerships we’ve been able to establish. We’d like to give special thanks to Hy-Vee, all the local libraries, and parks and recreation departments for addressing food insecurity and for embracing inclusive volunteering.”
