The Supermarket Food Drive is organized by Huntington Town Councilman Sal Ferro and the town’s Director of Minority Affairs Kevin Thorbourne.
“The Supermarket Food Drive embodies the strength of our community spirit,” Ferro said in a written statement. “I’m proud of our local high school football teams for their commitment to supporting those in need within our community. This event showcases the unity and compassion that define our town.”
People are encouraged to donate non-perishable food items during the two-day drive to help make a positive impact on the lives of those facing food insecurity in the Huntington area.
