Plans for the annual “Souper Bowl of Caring” food drive at the Collierstown Presbyterian Church are underway. This year’s drive has as its theme “Pack the Porch” for those with food needs. The railed porch area at the entrance to the church’s two front doors will be the food collection site on Saturday, Feb. 8, from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. The church wants to fill the porch completely with canned food, paper products and monetary gifts that will be donated to Helping Hands, a food ministry of Fairfield Presbyterian Church.

Volunteers will pick up donations if requested and will be on hand to help place items on the porch that day. Contributions may also be dropped off at Joe Hudson’s Collision Center, 2409 North Lee Hwy Lexington, or Cattlemen’s Market any business day Monday through Friday the week of Feb. 3-7.
