Now, Fill the Foodbank is hosted twice a year where people will drive up to a donation spot—in North or South County—volunteers unload the car, and donors go on their way. The nonprofit hosted its third Fill the Foodbank drive on Nov. 19 and brought in about 5,000 pounds of food and 76 turkeys countywide as of Nov. 21, far from its goal of 40,000 pounds of food and 3,000 turkeys, she said. Community members can still drop off food at the organization’s locations in both North and South County if they’d like to support December holiday food needs.
