CO-OP SPONSORS VICTORIAN STROLL FOOD DRIVE

CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAYS...CELEBRATE COMMUNITY

For the third consecutive year, the Troy Food Co-op is joining the community for the Victorian Stroll on Sunday, December 6. Whether you’re en route to Stroll festivities in the center of downtown or on your own Sunday stroll, please stop by the Co-op’s future home from 11 am to 4 pm.

SUPPORT OUR FOOD DRIVE

Co-op members and the public are invited to drop off non-perishable food items for our first Victorian Stroll Food Drive. Coop members will package and deliver the donations to four Troy charities serving those most in need:

• Hope 7 Food Pantry, East Side – need baked beans, mac ‘n cheese, stuffing mixes, soups
• Troy Larger Food Pantry – serves several churches in central Troy
• St. Mary's Food Pantry, Third Street, Little Italy, south of downtown Troy
• Troy Area United Urban Ministry – soup kitchen, serving lunch, dinners to HIV patients; operates food pantry

And while you’re out and about this week, take a look at the windows of the Pioneer Market promoting the food drive, created by Co-op members Marion Dunleavy and Joe Quandt.

WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON AT THE MARKET DURING THE STROLL

• Local jazz duo Sonny & Perley from noon to 1pm http://www.sonnyandperley.com/
• Baked goods made by Co-op members and warm beverages
