SUMMER FOOD DRIVE 2009

Hunger knows no season! CBS 8 and Donovan's Steak & Chop House are teaming up to help fight hunger in San Diego this summer.

Every day, thousands of San Diego men, women and children will go to bed hungry...and with today's troubled economy - even more San Diegans are in need. But you can help!

Just drop your non-perishable food items off in our red barrels at any Stater Bros., participating Jack in the Box or Albertsons location in San Diego County between now and Labor Day.

The San Diego Food Bank needs food that will provide nutritious meals for people in need. The most-needed items include:

• Canned meat & tuna
  
• Canned soups
  
• Canned fruits and vegetables
  
• Peanut butter
  
• Canned beans
  
• Spaghetti
  
• Dry cereal
  
• Rice
  
• Mac & cheese

Important note: The San Diego Food Bank cannot accept perishable items or items in glass jars due to food safety regulations.

Food raised from "8's Food Drive" will be distributed to people in need through the San Diego Food Bank's 371 partner charities which include: churches, food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, low-income daycare centers, rehabilitation programs and senior centers.

Don't let one more San Diegan go hungry. Help support "8's Food Drive" today! Drop off your donations by Labor Day:
