704 Outdoors Food Drive to Benefit Backpack Ministries

We are collecting food for children in need for the holidays. While we all take for granted the meals we eat on a daily basis, there are kids out there that are wondering when their next meal might be. Next time you’re in the grocery store getting simple items for yourself, grab a few extras and bring them to our food drive. We will be set up at the Marathon in Mount Pleasant at 9100 E Franklin St, Mt Pleasant, NC 28124 on Sunday from 11-2pm for drop off. If you cannot make it there you can also drop off at MacPherson’s Diamonds & Designs on Saturday from 10am to 5pm. Let’s help these kids enjoy a full stomach for the holidays! Thank you!

Items that can be accepted for the children are:

Main meals: individual kid-friendly(pop top), Mac ‘n cheese, pasta/spaghetti o’s, soup, beans ‘n franks, rice cups, viennas, mashed potatoes, ramen noodles, peanut butter, saltine crackers, any other easy to open/prepare foods (Some families don’t have can openers).
