The Rotary Club of Slatington and Giant Food Store of Walnutport will again band together to collect monetary or nonperishable goods donations canned goods during the 114th Northern Lehigh Halloween Parade.
The parade will be held at 6 p.m. Oct. 29. The rain date is 6 p.m. Oct. 30.
Spectators are asked for nonperishable goods and monetary donations for the Northern Lehigh Food Bank, said Eric Heiney, president, Rotary Club of Slatington.
Heiney said members of The Rotary Club of Slatington, the Interact Club of Slatington, and employee/volunteers from Giant will be pushing shopping carts again this year.
“We can’t see everyone’s struggles,” Heiney said. “There are hungry people in our community; some may be our neighbors and friends.
Heiney said last year the partnership resulted in the collection of 416 pounds of food and $525 worth of monetary donations for the Northern Lehigh Food Bank.
“Every donation, even if small, adds up and can make a difference in someone’s life,” he said. “These donations will help feed people in our community struggling with food insecurities.”
