A4 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday March 27, 2002 Donations still needed for Easter Food Drive Fareshare Foodbank's annual Easter Food Drive continues. A variety of non-perishable foods are needed but items that Fareshare seems to fall short of include canned meats, jams, cookies, canned salmon, instant coffee, hot chocolate, powdered milk and sugar. These donations can be dropped off at Fareshare. located at 1240 Speers Rd., Unit 6, every day of the food drive from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oakville's seven fire sta tions and the town's two Loblaws stores are also accepting donations. Last year's drive netted approximately 27,000 pounds of food. Money (in addition to non-perishable food items of course) is also needed to allow Fareshare to go out and shop for the kinds of food it runs short of. Cheques (for which income tax receipts will be issued) can be sent to 1240 Speers Rd., Unit 6, Oakville, Ontario, L6L 2X4. For more information call 847-3988. In recent months the food bank has experienced a 15 per cent increase in the number of families availing themselves of its services. Last month 257 families used Fareshare as opposed to 215 families at the same time a year ago. This represents 936 people (671 in 2001), 531 of whom (365 in 2001) were children.
