DOTHAN, Ala. — The Wiregrass Area Food Bank is asking the community to rally together as the holiday season arrives and local needs continue to rise.
“The Wiregrass Area Food Bank receives 75% of its food donations in October, November and December,” Julie Gonzalez told WDNews. She said the organization has spent recent weeks assisting families and nonprofits across multiple Wiregrass counties due to the shutdown, which has placed a higher-than-normal demand on its supplies.
Donations can be dropped off at McDonald’s, 3520 Ross Clark Circle. “We will be here until 6 p.m. tonight. Drive up, and we will unload it for you,” she added. Dry stock, can goods, frozen turkeys, and cash donations are all appreciated.
This year’s collection effort is supported by Murphy Family Restaurants and Digio Strategies, home of 95.5 WTVY, 96.9 The Legend, and KMX.
Gonzalez said these year-end donations are especially important to help restock shelves and continue serving families throughout the Wiregrass. Let’s get it, Wiregrass.
